Hello all,
I have been trying to figure out unix a little better. As a result I removed the OpenSSL and Apache installs on my Red Hat 9.0 linux box and tried to re-compile/re-install them with a non-root user (in that user's home directory).
Once I removed them and used root to install them in /usr/local/, everything worked fine again.
Can someone point me to the common gotchas that occur when trying to compile/install software as a non-root user?
Thanks.
