Hello,
I may have missed this. Sometimes in the docs for a application it will say
at a point " you need to be root or have superuser permissions to do this "

I normally login in as user then su - over to superuser.
(I hope thats the right terminology).
Then I do the ./configure makes etc.

Is that okay to do ? or should I be just plain user till its time to make
install ?

Thanks
Mark
