Thank you, this is very useful information. Wouldn't this be useful in the INSTALL files? or maybe it's already there. I might want to keep one previous version just in case, but no other. Should I do "make uninstall" for the previous version after I install the new version, or before, or it doesn't matter? Thanks everyone for your help! Luca
