<personal opinion only, not to be confused as arguing against Alex's case>I've always liked the /opt method for installing Qt (as well as KDE and GNOME) because of the ease of upgrading the software, without worrying about the ability to go back to the previous version. The /opt method provides flexibility, and more importantly, the ability to go back and check one version or another without disturbing the other installations. This is especially important as a BLFS dev, as there are times when newer versions of something didn't work the same, and I could switch between the two to figure out what a particular change would do to both/either/all versions. And all this is available by simply recreating a symlink. To me, it is worth the hassle of the required $PATH, etc. changes. </personal opinion> -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
