   If you using linux then is the mbsebbs give problem with change the default   
   install or upgrade of old install to new install in /opt/   
   So for first time install is it a file named SETUP.sh there do the setup for   
   mbsebbs and create setup as root for mbsebbs.   
   It makes the new user for mbse and group as bbs with permissions.   
   so default setup and install af mbsebbs is to set be /opt/mbse   
   have as root /root/tmp and a copy of mbse-1.01.01.tar.bz2 in /tmp   
   as root   
   tar vfxj mbsebbs.*.tar.bz2 (or version of mbsebbs)   
   cd in to mbsebbs-1.01.01   
   run ./SETUP.sh or sh ./SETUP.sh   
   when this is done and SETUP.sh has made new user mbse and group bbs - check it   
   out of then new user and broup is working fine.   
   login as user mbse and try 'tar xfxj mbsebbs-1.01.01.tar.bz2   
   ./configure   
   make   
   su root   
   make install   
      
   you have to run the last command make install to install mbsebbs and it binary   
   files.   
   mbse is then been installed at and into /opt/mbse   
   then check if mbse is working.   
   for prefixing can it come to have problems to where mbsebbs mbse_root and   
   binaries if found.   
   For Gentoo users can one file have to be changed a little for the path to be   
   found for mbse bins.   
      
     Take care,   
               Gert
