The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard assures me that installing into /usr is appropriate. Very helpful.
Technically, yes. But the correct place for anything you're installing by hand would be /usr/local.
Shared libraries (.so files) should go into /usr/local/lib, exectuables should go into /usr/local/bin.
You may also need to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH to your $HOME/.profile. Here's the last line of mine:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
This includes three parts separated by colon:
- current directory (.) - this is helpful for simulating the behavior of Windows (I should probably just add -Wl,-rpath=. to the linker args so this is built-in)
- /usr/local/lib - the local USR directory for shared libraries, as described above
- $LD_LIBRARY_PATH - append any previous values of this environment variable
Hope that helps.
