I download, compile, patch, etc at some place (cvs calls it a sandbox, I always have a few in parallel), and build and run it there, by simply by entering $ ./configure $ make $ ./scid If I want to play with the distro version, I would need to enter $ scid since I do not have "." (up front) in my path env. The trick is _not_ to $make install the scid script that you effectively call expects external binaries in the same spot as itself. so you could do better than I do using scripts in your ~/bin as well. And - as we say in dutch - a kid can do the laundry. Cheers, Joost. > On a side note, I'm really pleased to see the activity in the list in > the last weeks.
