/usr/local somewhere. /usr/local/lib is really only appropriate for libraries, but it's up to you. You might like to try stow, where you put each package in its own directory in /usr/local/stow and it maintains a symlink farm for you; this allows for easy uninstallation. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
