Well, normally, the installation procedures are run as root (the superuser), who owns /usr/include/ and most other installed files. You can "get around" that by chowning more and more files/directories to make them owned by you, but then you lose the advantage of the different owners. It means you could now do something bad to those files by accident, and not be protected by the lack of permission to do so. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- You author it, and I'll reader it. \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- Cetero censeo "authored" delendum esse. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
