Re: [Freeipmi-devel] make install issue in freeipmi-0.8.2.beta3

Hi Sandeep,

>From the README.build file

----
By default files will typically be installed in /usr/local (binaries
in /usr/local/bin, libraries in /usr/local/lib, configuration files in
/usr/local/etc/, etc.).  To install into the more common locations
such as /usr/bin, /usr/lib/, /etc, etc. the options passed into
`./configure' must be adjusted.

The following set of options and settings are suitable for most Linux
systems.

--prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man

Your mileage may vary depending on your system.
