That works, but it could be dangerous as it could currupt the contents of your rpm database. Or at least make it obselete and out of sync with what is on your system. make install should put most things into /usr/local/ and that's ok, the assumption is that non-rpm-managed packages go there. I have a habit of first doing "make -n install" to see what it would do:) However, if a make install over-writes things that were already there or broke things in other ways, oops :) Many tarballs now include a .spec file, and if that is the case then "rpbbuild -tb package.tar.gz" will produce an rpm for you to install it as a managed package. > Rinaldi Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
