Christie,

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to upgrade Apache 1.3.6 to 1.3.12, then
MySQL from 3.22.32 to 3.23.xx, then PHP3 to PHP4. But, both the Apache and
PHP4 "make install" scripts try to create either a directory or file under
/usr/local - but I don't have authority (it's not my box). So, I want to
tell the "./configure" and/or "make install" scripts to use /home/smartin as
it's structure.

(I don't remember the syntax, so I'll use "with")
Using ./configure  --prefix="/home/smartin"
--with-apache="/home/smartin/apache" --with-mysql="/home/smartin/mysql" <or>
make install, how do I tell the script(s) to _not_ treat me as `root` and
allow me to finish the installation into my directories?

// long winded question. Short version: Since I can't mkdir /usr/local/xxx,
how do I direct the installation to use /home/smartin/xxx instead?

I could not find (quickly) my answer in the manual. And I certainly
appreciate your thoughts!

~ Steve
