Yellow Dog Linux

sorry for the silly question, i know it was posted already somewhere but i can't seem to find it.... what are the standard prefix's to use?

I'm about to install libgphoto2, so if anybody knows of any issues i'd like to hear em:)
thanks

1. tar xvzf foo.tar.gz
2. cd foo
3. ./configure
4. make
5. make installl



finally found it.

1. tar xvzf foo.tar.gz
2. cd foo
2.5 more README
3. ./configure
4. make
5. make installl

thanks!

thats a step i've forgotten before.

I just posted the first howto in the faq lists; it has a little more advanced section on compiling from source

thanks everybody!

Is there a procedure to removing failed installs or even installs that worked or is it just a matter of hunting down all of the installed files and deleting them?

as root "make uninstall"
