By default, 'make install' will install the package's files in
'usr/local/bin', 'usr/local/lib', etc. You can specify an installation
prefix other than '/usr/local' by giving 'configure' the option
'--prefix=PATH'. Alternately, you can do so by consistently giving a
value for the 'prefix' variable when you run 'make', e.g.

   make prefix=/usr/gnu
   make prefix=/usr/gnu install
