I take it you mean that when compiling a program for installation into an RH or Fedora system, it's a good idea (and safe) to consistently use --prefix=/usr as this will keep your system neat and well organized?
Taht is correct.
(If your answer is, "Uh, yeah. That's what I just said," please bear with me. I sometimes need to mirror things back to make sure I get the idea!)
No problem
BTW, what are you trying to compile?
Actually nothing at the moment. But seeing this issue in the book made me wonder if there was something important I was missing and I wanted to know what the deal was before I compiled anything else.
Thank you, David!
