Don't worry. I've only just found out the syntax for installing stuff
where
you want it to be installed. ./configure --prefix=/usr should get
configure
to put it in /usr/lib , rather than letting the default ./configure put it
in /usr/local . Nigel. (still being assymilated) and I've probably spelt
that
wrong.
If you run a distro with a package system (ie basically every
distribution in existance except possibly Slackware) DO NOT DO THIS
unless you really, really, REALLY, know exactly what you're doing.
You'll break your packaging system and hose your system.
/usr/local exists for a reason
