Depends how you install it. If you do a "./configure; make; make
install" routine, no.

It's probably easier to grab the tarball. The tools required to make
them are a bit fragile (for instance, when I try and build them on
this box, the indices don't get generated. I don't know why -- I'm
sure it worked a while ago, and I don't think I've changed anything).
Cheers,

As it seems to me, in Perl you have to be an expert to correctly make
a nested data structure like, say, a list of hashes of instances. In
Python, you have to be an idiot not to be able to do it, because you
just write it down. -- Peter Norvig, comp.lang.functional
