Yes, like ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ make make install for specifying installation directory, right? Need to think beyond the power-programmer... Even the casual programmer struggles with configure/make systems, and often fails and leaves. Serious OSS definately have binaries in one form or the other. It is not a "piece-of-cake" to compile source for everyone, and I think it should not serve as the ENTRY-POINT for new users. I suggest that this is posted on cocoon-users and see the consensus there. Niclas
