I don't think you need to build your own to accomplish this. dpkg -i -R /usr/local package.deb should install 'package' in /usr/local If I am wrong please someone correct me. I have seen this in the manpage for dpkg, but have never used it. -- -CraigW -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
