Newbie question about compiling
 

Hello people,

I am running Debian, occationally compiling source code (and installing it with checkinstall). How can I make software install itself in /usr/local during configuration? Is this what
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
does? Or is there a different way?

Regards,

yes thats what --prefix=/usr/local does

Thank you :)
