Right, I know these paths vary between distros, not zsh's problem.

Ok, so it's not an issue that distro info and user installed info are in 
different places.  No problem to solve.

Tx.  Sounds like a nothing burger all round.

So the remaining questions are whether it's safe to run a dev build 
within a stock 5.9 -- Lawrence seems to say so -- or whether to fret

latest and build it?  I trust it will be simpler than installing from 
scratch.
