Then, search on google for "LAMP" (Linux Apache MySQL, PHP/Perl).

You need to know that you need to

- Use a webserver to display data (apache)
- Use a database to gather/store the data (MySQL)
- Use a programing language (PHP)
- Use bindings on PHP to dig the database (php-mysql)
- Use bindings for the webserver so apache can use PHP(mod_php)

Wel, then, if there's no useful data, start over.

"make uninstall " from the directory that you made "make install". If
you are lucky (and the package developers were nice) it will work.

Nevertheles, SuSE 8 (and any other distribution) already has all those
packages available to be installed very easily (and be removed very
easy as well). USe the packaeg manager and browse though the available
software. I betcha you have all what you need in the CDs.

The same goes for RedHat, Mandrake, Debian, Slackware....

And, if you use an rpm-based or deb-based or tgz-based distribution, and
you really really really really want to compile the packages from the
source, use this program to generate rpms or debs or tgz from the
source-code, very easily:

checkinstall

Again, most probably is on your CDs.
