My guess is that if it was all installed in the right places, which 
I don't think I have yet, it would work just fine.  Its built 
everything I threw at it so except kde-3.0.3 via garnome, and 
mosfet-liquid, both heavily c++ stuff that needs the 3.2 versions 
of the STL headers that aren't located in /usr/include here now.  
But based on what I've seen so far, I think I'll do a make clean in 
the build directory, and modify the makefile to go ahead and have 
it install itself in /usr.  That would make many of my problems go 
away I'm sure.
