I'd recommend you instead do this as a user in group staff (rather than root) and add '-d /usr/local/include' or some such variant (maybe /usr/local/include/perl) to the h2ph command. That way, you don't muck up your filesystem, confusing the stuff that you're supposed to manage (/usr/local) and the stuff you're supposed to manage dpkg to manage (just about everything else). -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
