I suggest that most gnu stuff be loaded at /usr/bin, >/usr/lib, etc. when using gnu itself, with /usr/local reserved for >other stuff. -David- > Yes, but when one is working on some other system, but with a lot of gnu stuff (so much that it becomes inappropriate to have it all in /usr/local), what should one do?
