I had this weird experience a week ago,,, I was compiling a sound application
and it over wrote a part of my libc in some way and caused my xmms that I
used to play old radio shows on my second audio card to fail... I didn't
notice it until I tried to use xmms the other day... now I got to figure out
which one did the deed... that should be great fun <heh>
awww well... all in a days work <heh>

Quite honstly, i think almost nobody should be installing libraries
from source. Rather, I think people should install the pre-packaged
library from their distribution.
The only exception to the above, is developers actually working on
the library and the hopefully rare cases where a developer needs to
test a bleedign edge version of a library that the distribution
has not yet packaged.
As a library author myself, the only two libraries on my system that
were installed from source are libsndfile and libsamplerate.
