hi all,
i am relatively new to ubuntu platform thus alot of commands are very new to me.
i am trying to install a software called sharc from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sharc/
it sta in the INSTALL file that:
================================================== ====
Installation Names
==================
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PATH'.
================================================== ====
i need to change the default location to /usr/bin
how do i go about doing it?
or how to use the command option of `--prefix=PATH'.??
i try using the command below:
sudo make install --prefix=/usr/bin
but it generate error.
pls help.
thanks.
