Upgrading to Samba 3 from source ?

[sminons]

How do I upgrade from Samba 2.2.7 to Samba 3 ?. I want to go about this by compiling Samba 3 from source and not from an rpm. I tried installing from source, and got it installed. The problem is that my existing samba package is not upgraded to 3 ( which is the way I want it to be), but is getting installed in another location . I am running Mandrake Linux 9.1. Without using specific mandrake rpms how can I upgrade it to 3 from source?

when you compile you need to use you need to use the ./configure --prefix=/somewhere/on/your/system

to direct it to where your distro keeps its stuff.

FYI: installing from source will not update your RPM database, so it will remain as the old version in RPM unless there is a way to manually insert the new version into the RPM database (like emerge inject foo in gentoo).
