	A couple of years back I reorganized my machine so I no longer need
	root access to install common packages. I created a directory tree
	(which I own), in my case starting at '/tc'. I then configure the
	packages with

	    ./configure --prefix=/tc/usr

	    make

	    make install

	And everything gets installed in my directories, rather than the
	system ones.


	Regards
