By default, @samp{make install} will install the package's files in

@code{configure} the option @samp{--prefix=@var{path}}. Alternately,
you can do so by consistently giving a value for the @samp{prefix}

You can specify separate installation prefixes for architecture-specific
files and architecture-independent files. If you give @code{configure}
the option @samp{--exec-prefix=@var{path}} or set the @code{make}
variable @samp{exec_prefix} to @var{path}, the package will use
the option @samp{--exec-prefix=@var{path}}, the package will use
@var{path} as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
If you use an unusual directory layout in which some of the installation
directory names are not based on a single prefix, you can set the
