Hello list, I am wondering, does anyone know: 1.) If there is such a thing? 2.) What it would be? As to how SuSE installs packages from the source for the './configure' script? What I mean is: is there a standard set of rules that they use when running the configure script to install all the pieces of software in the various locations on the file-system? <example> When installing the latest version of apache, the configure script is setup for '/usr/local/' then it creates the directory of the package it's going to install - 'apache'... (this causes all kinds of problems with the SuSE init-scripts) --But when you install SuSE's RPM of Apache, it has all the binaries in '/usr/sbin/' and the 'conf' file is in '/etc/httpd'... (this one works, because the init-script is setup, but this package might not have everything you want) </example> I'm just wanting to know if there is an easier way to "comply" with the standard system layout SuSE has implemented. Hope this explains what I'm looking for. TIA, ---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=--- .~. .~. /V\ /V\ // \\ // \\ /( )\ /( )\ ^^-^^ ^^-^^ Travis Owens towens@linuxmds.com
