Editing Advanced Installation (section)

==Location==
As long as you set the environment variables and directory permissions correctly, it does not matter in what part of your filesystem you place the install. If you have the luxury of installing anywhere, it is good practice to follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard Filesystem Hierarchy Standard] and either:
# Install everything (including <tt>figs</tt> if you do testing) under <tt>/usr/local/rsf</tt>, with the source tree in <tt>/usr/local/rsf/src</tt>, OR 
# Put the source tree in <tt>/usr/local/src/rsf</tt>, and specify <tt>RSFROOT=/usr/local</tt>, so that header files and binaries go in <tt>/usr/local/bin</tt> and <tt>/usr/local/include</tt>. To follow the standard, before installing set <tt>RSFDOC=/usr/local/share/rsf/doc</tt> and create the appropriate directories. The auto-generated HTML documentation will get put there. Also, if installed, the figs directory for testing should be <tt>/usr/local/share/rsf/figs/</tt>.
# Package Madagascar (i.e. build a RPM, etc) and install it in the default locations. For RPMs, those are as like the ones from the previous option, just directly in the <tt>/usr/</tt> hierarchy, instead of in the <tt>/usr/local/</tt> one.
