In the section "1.3 Basic installation" of the manual, it states: "You can run these programs from within their directories, but I recommend= you to install them in proper locations using make install from a root shell." It might be worth mentioning that the executables could be placed somewher= e else using the `--prefix' argument to `configure'. I did this because I installed th= e version supplied by Ubuntu via `synaptic' and I just want to have the original sources from= the tarball from the current version and the development version from the Git repository in add= ition. I haven't checked this, but apart from being able to install in, e.g., /us= r/bin, I can't imagine there would be any need for `root' permissions with respect to MDK. Laurence
