> sudo make install Judging from my understanding of the article, you are using Ubuntu. Please, please, please don't ever teach "complete noobs" installing anything this way. I won't insist on full course of backporting with apt-get source, hacking on debian/* and doing dpkg-buildpackage, but even silly `sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local && make install` is more appropriate than Slackware-ish `sudo make install`. And, while far from being perfect, checkinstall(1), is easy to use and should work fairly well. I had to manage several Debian GNU/Linux-based systems with ton of software installed this way, and it was... well, quite painful. Package management is there for a reason.
