The && means "execute the next one only if this one worked". If you really trust the source, make ; make install works fine. If you are not so sure it will compile, make && make install might save some headaches by preventing a not-fully-compiled program from being installed. Unfortunatly, it is unlikely to help Usef directly in this case, though it *is* good practice. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
