I just grabbed zsh-2.5.03 but unfortunately I don't have root access, so I have to install it in my home directory. Therefore I tried a build with: ./buildzsh INSTDIR=/nfs/cleo/home/shr ETCDIR=/nfs/cleo/home/shr The INSTDIR parameter appeared to have no affect, and a make install would still try to deal with /usr/local I got it to work with the following build: ./buildzsh INSTDIR=/nfs/cleo/home/shr ETCDIR=/nfs/cleo/home/shr BINDIR=/nfs/cleo/home/shr/bin MANDIR=/nfs/cleo/home/shr/man/man1 But a 'make install' bombs out when it attempts to do the make.info portion. 1) INSTDIR appears not to work at all, or at least not as described in ./buildzsh help 2) Is there anyway to specify where to put the info files? TIA, shr PS Should a basic goto the beta release? How often would the beta really give me trouble?
