I just wanted to point out (to both the asker and the answerer) that this "make install" thing is certainly not a supported thing to do (i. e., you can do it if you want but if Weird Things Happen then most people will just say "I told you so.") No rudeness/pedantry intended, but I couldn't think of a "nice" way to say it and I was virtually gasping in horror at someone being advised to do the equivalent of "voiding the warranty." -- Ray Kohler Who made the world I cannot tell; 'Tis made, and here am I in hell.
