Install new version (2.1.10) to completely different location

[Gary Gatten]

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I'm actually running RHEL.  I couldn't find where "DESTDIR" would be referenced, nor that "R=" is a valid argument.  Are these 'undocumented' options?

I guess I can try it and see what happens!

The preferred mechanism is to specify DESTDIR, every installed 
file/directory is then created in it's "normal" location, but hung under 
a DESTDIR root. You can either:

export DESTDIR=/devel

or

make install R=/devel
