I highly recommend using the "Encap" packaging scheme from UIUC. It's
really not even a package manager, but rather automatically makes symlinks.
Compile package with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/encap/packagename-1.0
make
make install
epkg -i packagename-1.0
... and all of the directories and files under
/usr/local/encap/packagename-1.0/[bin|man|lib|share|...] get symlinked into
/usr/local/[bin|man|lib|share|...]...
Path problems fixed, libs all in "same" place, easily removable/upgradable
('epkg -r packagename' or 'epkg -i packagename-1.1').
As always, YMMV, but on my machine:
/usr/local/encap> ls -1 | wc -l
443
