Hi Mehmet,

You'll have to run a 'make install' command too - that will put everything
in place.

(This is gnu standard - I think the idea is that you should be able to
compile yourself, and once everything is working you just tell your
system administrator to run 'make install' in your source directory)

Cheers,

Erik
