Depending on what this needs to do to install, you may have to run this as root (using sudo or su). Of course, running it as root means it can do whatever it wants to do, so be careful. Out of curiosity, what is it that you're installing? Unless it's something really bizarre, it probably already has a debian package (.dpkg) version which will install simpler and cleaner.. and if not, compiling from source will probably give you a better result than installing precompiled binaries (although not neccessarily) Oh, and that sms you got tonight? that was from me, you galoot :p See you.. thursday? -- There is nothing more worthy of contempt than a man who quotes himself - Zhasper, 2005 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
