Thanks all for replies. I usually have to install from source because packages
are not provided and I like to try new application. What I have to do
is a little bit of cleaning before re-arranging my envinronment in a better way
Target is making music, of course :-). Anyway, I think I will use Peter suggestion,
so that I won't need to keep all the sources I compile from.
Thanks again and have a nice week-end!
