it is good practice to install things not in a Debian package in /usr/local. Nothing from Debian is ever put there so anything in /usr/local are indeed local additions. so cd src ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make make install # this puts the files in the system then try the next app. Note, gnokii is packaged in Debian (at least under unstable) so you could also either grab the package or simply grab the package source and make your own version. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
