I wasn't saying that you should use sudo. I was pointing out that you were wrong in saying that "shouldn't compile using root permissions".

Whether you choose fakeroot, sudo, su, or log on as root, is a religious-type discussion that you can have with someone who cares about such things. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
