IIRC, these message are not logged. The info you read was probably a feature request. > ./make system > > from the source directory.

You'll need to pass an option, --prefix=/usr, (or patch?) to the configure script or the Makefile. /opt is usually used for big self-contained packages (kde,gnome,firefox). I don't know if that applies to clip. Maybe /usr would be more appropriate with perhaps the charsets directory in /usr/share/clip/ /var is used for variable/temporary stuff. I wouldn't use it for libraries.
