I was following the instruction in the “INSTALL” directions, compiling all the different sources. Once I had done the ./configure, make, make install I would delete the directory which I had downloaded to my home directory. Does the computer need that directory. I was just assuming that after a make install the computer took what it needed from that directory and put it in the appropriate places, but I’m not sure if that is right. Should I have downloaded those files to another directory like /usr/bin and extracted them there, then done the ./configure, make, make install and then leave the directory there. Does the directory need to stay behind, does it matter where it is located? <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
