this is basically a matter of getting a prefix parameter into the install setup. pd itself handles this well with ./configure --prefix=... i prefer /usr because of debian conventions and the other popular option seems to be /usr/local. i think choice is the best option as opposed to one standardized hardcoded path.
not many/all externals (like my own) do this though if they have a configure script or install target at all so you have to edit the makefile. could def. be improved.
Hmm, I had thought that this was more than just a choice between /usr/* and /usr/local/*.
Maybe everything's getting sorted out lately, and I just have some really old stuff lying around. Certainly I wouldn't complain about /usr/* vs. /usr/local/* if it were certain what the structure was underneath.
Looking at my .pdrc below, I guess that a lot of makefiles havent't really included "install" targets, or else I didn't bother to use them. Truth to be told, I should prune this thing, and maybe things are getting better and some of these paths are now empty.
But still, remaning suspects are the vasp and iemlib* libraries.
