One possibility would be to get the source tar package and make your own debian package from that. I've tried this a few times without a lot of success, but will persevere (I've read all the debmake documentation, but still have a few problems). The other would be to compile and install the software in a "relatively safe" directory such as /usr/local. ---- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
