I downloaded 1.4.1 and extracted the tar.gz but the rest of the install process looks a bit complicated.
John, The process is a simple, five-step one: 1.) tar xzvf <filename-a.b.c.tar.gz> 2.) cd filename-a.b.c 3.) ./configure (You can check options and the default install directory by running './configure --help | less' first.) 4.) make 5.) make install (as root). If you use Slackware, Debian, or Red Hat, you can replace this step with 'checkinstall' (might need to find and build it first). That will let you build a package for these distributions. You can preceed each of the above commands with 'time ' and it will tell you how much time it took for the command to complete. Happy building, Rich -- Richard B.
