If you using linux then is the mbsebbs give problem with change the default 
install or upgrade of old install to new install in /opt/
So for first time install is it a file named SETUP.sh there do the setup for 
mbsebbs and create setup as root for mbsebbs.
It makes the new user for mbse and group as bbs with permissions.
so default setup and install af mbsebbs is to set be /opt/mbse
have as root /root/tmp and a copy of mbse-1.01.01.tar.bz2 in /tmp
as root
tar vfxj mbsebbs.*.tar.bz2 (or version of mbsebbs)
cd in to mbsebbs-1.01.01
run ./SETUP.sh or sh ./SETUP.sh
when this is done and SETUP.sh has made new user mbse and group bbs - check it 
out of then new user and broup is working fine.
login as user mbse and try 'tar xfxj mbsebbs-1.01.01.tar.bz2
../configure
make
su root
make install

you have to run the last command make install to install mbsebbs and it binary 
files.
mbse is then been installed at and into /opt/mbse
then check if mbse is working.
for prefixing can it come to have problems to where mbsebbs mbse_root and 
binaries if found.
For Gentoo users can one file have to be changed a little for the path to be 
found for mbse bins.

  Take care,
            Gert
