Freddy, I'm aware of this. However on Linux an install generally only consists of putting the binary and config files into the correct system wide locations. When installing programs from source you are able to pass your home dir in via the ./configure command which then allows you to install within your home dir, if you don't have root access.
This can currently be done by apt-getting the source and building it yourself. However this isn't the user friendly Ubuntu which I've been getting used to, and alot of users will be unaware of this option. -- Can't install packages without root access https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118551 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
