Hi,

Why is it required that building of a package be done as an unprevilged
user? I saw this indication in the Book too ("Now as root user issue the
following command...") but never bothered to investigate. I tend to
automate
my install of most 'sub-systems' such as kde etc and have always been
doing
configure and make as root. Am I doing something wrong?
Would be obliged to be put wise.

Thanks for your interest.
I agree that, as a matter of principle, one must not flout 'root' previlege.
I will have to learn bash scripting to sufficient degree to be able to
become 'root' in the middle of an automating install script, at the 'make
install' stage for each package. As of now, I don't even know if it is
possible at all.
Kind Regards
