OK, I have used the above file but when I try to "make install" it dies
because /usr/local/bin already exists.  I have tried the ./configure by
passing the in prefix address to an alternate location for installation but
it always tries the /usr/local location.

Where should I install it?
And how do I make it install somewhere other than default?
