more details on what on earth this package is up to, please consult

This distribution can be installed in a location of your choosing.

To set the ball rolling, run the configure script (as usual, run the
script with --help to see what options it supports). eg. to set up
the package for installing in directory <my-dir>, use

./configure --prefix=<my-dir>

in-place, the --prefix option can be omitted.
The default installation directory is /usr/local.

or if you're installing, run
Now run:

make install
