    40 While CWiid is still in the early development stages, installation directories and filenames are changed more often than in a mature, stable package.  In order to prevent the collection of obselete directories and files, it is recommended that you run 'make uninstall && make uninstall_config' from your current CWiid source directory before installing a new one. 
     40While CWiid is still in the early development stages, installation directories and filenames are changed more often than in a mature, stable package.  In order to prevent the collection of obselete directories and files, it is recommended that you run 'make uninstall && make uninstall_config' from your current CWiid source directory before installing a new one.  Files are currently installed to the following directories: /usr/local/{bin,etc,lib,lib/cwiid}.  Recently, but no longer, used directories include /usr/share/CWiid - this directory may be deleted.

    4242Many distributions do not have /usr/local/lib in the library search path, and on many of these same distributions, the library installation directory (as determined by autoconf) is /usr/local/lib, creating a problem when you try to run programs depending on libraries installed there. There are two clean ways to fix this:

    4646I prefer the second method since it keeps local software in the local directory where it should be, and it fixes the problem for every package using /usr/local/lib, not just CWiid.  Until someone offers a convincing argument for the omission of /usr/local/lib from /etc/ld.so.conf, I consider this to be a distribution bug, and method #2 above is the fix.
