How bad is an erroneous isntallation?

[Ólafur]

Hello all
I am currently looking into installing the MAGMA library on a server but I'd like to know how much effort it would take to fix a botched installation (wrong settings in the make file etc.). I just wanted to make sure that if I screwed up the install it wouldn't require server admin intervention. I'm looking at a linux server that already has the CUDA toolkit libraries.

Thanks in advance.

A corrected version of MAGMA should overwrite a botched installation (assuming either both compile shared libraries or neither compiles shared libraries).
