Yes, and that installation path should be $HOME/stow/package-name. After all, that's where all the real files are. This way, you can even run the executables even if they are not currently symlinked. If you can't live with that, use cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME /path/to/source make make install DESTDIR=$HOME/stow/package-name Michael -- There is always a well-known solution to every human problem -- neat, plausible, and wrong.
