When you install from pre-compiled packages they nearly all install into
/usr. The default install prefix set in the configure scripts when you
install from source is /usr/local. That is one thing that often confuses
people who try to install from source after first trying Myth from
precompiled packages. They often end up with two Myth install in /usr
and /usr/local.
