(I have GNU/Linux) No. You don't even have to be root to do the build steps. You only have to be root to install it, and that only if you want to install it into a system directory, rather than directories your regular user can write to. > Does mysql++ automatically install in a specific directory By default, it places its pieces in various directories under /usr/ local.
