The guy has made his own choice here. Let him be. What I *would* suggest is that he instead puts it into /opt/proftpd/ or /usr/local/ as the base directory ( ./configure --prefix /opt/proftpd ....) instead, so that it won't conflict with Ubuntu packages.

It's a means of keeping track of versions and dependencies in a simpler way. But I've been doing package builds for 30 years now and it's not rocket science. So lay off the poor guy and either help him, or at least make constructive suggestions. That's the joy of open source, you can do it however you like, you don't have to listen to others. Now maybe I'm reading too much grumpiness into Benny's reply, and if so I apologize! *grin* But in this case, he's trying to do a build and maybe if we help he can learn and grown and maybe even contribute back to proftpd or other packages.
