Hi,

I am sorry that I reply that late, but I received the notification just today.

The reason is that I made the port installing its files in /usr/X11R6/share/upp, i.e. all files needed are copied into this directory. Normally you have to have root priviliges to install a port, so if a normal user runs 'uppide' initially, all needed files are copied into the directory defined in $UPP_DIR. This can be defined by the user or the default ~/upp is used.
This has to be done in order to work with theIDE, since packages are compiled inside uppsrc even if you only a sample.

Actually, I guess it is a time to reconsider POSIX issues like makefiles, autoconfig, placement of files etc... simply all things we ordinal Win32 developers do not understand that well... Wink
