[CIG-SHORT] building PyLith development version on a Fedora system

[Jiangning Lu]

Thanks for the instructions!

To use 'yum install', do I have to become a root to do so? I think so. I don't
have access to root.   Can I install them in my $HOME instead of by 
default and
not as a root?  Like we install by hand by setting --prefix=$HOME..?

If it has to be a root, I'll ask administrator to do.

Thanks!!
Jiangning
