I don't follow your logic: Do you have one common /usr/local that everybody uses (or anything equivalent)? If not: you have to compile and install seperately for each machine. using rpms/debs/etc. may help you decrese that a bit (build one package for all the redhat 7.1's andother one for all the redhat 6.2's and a third one for all the debian 2.2's) -- Tzafrir Cohen /"\ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Taub 229, 972-4-829-3942, X Against HTML Mail http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir / \ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
