Probably not, and you left out becoming amanda to do the ./configure 
& make, then becoming root to do the make install.  You'll likely 
have all sorts of permissions problems if you don't follow that 
sequence.  Even the unpack should be done as the user amanda.

Here, thats less than a 10 minute job even if I go away and do 
something else more interesting than watching a compile scroll by.  
And I do it virtually everytime Jean-Louis makes a new snapshot 
available on his umontreal site, sometimes several times a week.
