If you are using a package manager of some kind, then it is likely that the package management system would require root access, or something like it. OTOH, if you're installing from source then you don't need root access, as long as you install it to directories that you, as a user, have access to. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
