I suppose that software that does not packaged by Linux distributors should not be installed in /usr/{bin,share,etc.} but /usr/local/*.
I wish that it could choose not only /usr but also /usr/local or /opt/[name] as the installation prefix.
FYI: Installation using CMake or Autotools supports this by the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX or the option --prefix.
