Did you run "make install" after "make"?
The default installation location (when you called "configure" without
options) is to /usr/local/, i.e. the binaries should be installed in
/usr/local/bin.
If you called "configure --prefix=/usr" then the binaries will go
to /usr/bin. Unless you don't have write permissions there...
If you copy executables by yourself without doing "make install", you're
likely to install things incorrectly, because there is a big number of
executables, libraries, documentation and data files, and you cannot know
which one should go where.
