I'm thinking of either providing a "make install" (even though it's not
really necessary) or at least making it print out a helpful message.
Aside: I've never been clear why people expect "make install" anyway on a
Linux system (I understand it on Unix). On my Debian Linux system I have
never compiled anything myself. Everything I have ever wanted is provided as
a .deb, so I never have type "make" at all. Isn't the same true of other
Linux distributions? Why not just use the .rpm? Can someone enlighten me?
