If your source is in /foo/bar/gdb-5.0: mkdir /foo/bar/build mkdir /foo/bar/install cd /foo/bar/build sh /foo/bar/gdb-5.0/configure --prefix=/foo/bar/install make make install The important part is the "sh" part. The other parts will make the build go better in other ways. Hope this helps, Michael Elizabeth Chastain "love without fear"
