/usr/local is a different PREFIX to /usr. The Gnu standard is to use /usr/local, the Redhat-compatible standard is to use /usr. If you install gnome into /usr it will pick up applications in /usr. The same is true for /usr/local or /opt/gnome2 or any PREFIX you can dream up. So my advice is to install your apps into /usr with ./configure --prefix=/usr On Mon, 2003-01-13 at 12:19, Mattias Eriksson wrote: > Hi > > I'm the kind of linux user that always want the newest stuff, or just > want to play around to try new apps.
