Just "configure --prefix=/ --mandir=/usr/man" and then add : a "ln -s /bin/zsh /usr/local/bin/" for those scripts using the : "canonic path" (it's always a bad idea to have two copies of the same : program since it tends to waste memory by having multiple copies of the : same program in core). That's true and it's important. If you're using static and dynamic linked zshs you won't be sharing the text segments between them, so you're better off only having static linked zsh or dynamic linked zsh, rather than both. -- Geoff Wing [mason@primenet.com.au] Phone : +61-3-9818 2977 Technical Manager: PrimeNet Computer Consultants Facsimile: +61-3-9768 2909 Web: Mobile : 0412 162 441 [ Boulderdash: ]
