The installation is need due to simple searching shared libraries (.so) by the binaries. If you get a messages like this:


night_power: error while loading shared libraries: libccdnet.so.0: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Your binaries are hungry for installation. Alternatively you can use setting of the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (described in Program-Library-HOWTO).

Binaries installation

Installation is normally done by typing (I'm not sure..)


# make install DESTDIR=/usr/local

It will be install packages under /usr/local directory (to bin and lib). To correct run of the utilities, the presence of the /usr/local/bin directory in your PATH environment variable and /usr/local/lib in ld config file is supposed. The binary packages (rpm and deb format) creates binaries in system wide directories.
