<br>Hmm... I guess I should mention that I'm a Linux newbie, also I'm not a very<br>advanced computer user, so you'll have to forgive me but I have to ask for a<br>little more details than that or a tutorial link on this subject.
<br><br>I really don't know anything about compiling apps, also what's the debug<br>symbol?</blockquote><div><br>Typically, there are 2 ways to install a program : <br><br>- one devel bin program with debug symbols : big and slow, but dedicaced to give report if it crash and provide informations on console. It generally the case when you compile yourself the program using a source tarball (and when you use the right options to compile it in this mode)
<br>- one target bin program without debug symbols : less big, more fast and optimized. It generally provided by package like RPM or DEB.<br></div><br>Gilles</div><br>
