Debian build and difference with compiling from source
0%
Description
Hello, this is a simple question: Currenly, I am using Audacious in Ubuntu 11.10, installed from the WebUpd8 ppa repository. If I compile from the source available in the Audacious page (doing the standard ./configure, make ...), is the location of Audacious folders the same compared with the repository? Or will I end with two different copies of the same program? Thanks for your attention.

You should completely uninstall the WebUpd8 version before compiling from source. When you do compile from source, you should use ./configure --prefix=/usr to make sure Audacious is installed in the right folders. (This is common practice for most programs in Debian/Ubuntu, nothing unique about Audacious.)
