It does :)

Does this mean that the file locations are hard-coded into the
executables/libraries ? I suppose that this is the standard way to do
it, but I always assumed that it was only the 'make install' that
depended upon the install locations. This is based on the 'compile &
build it' then 'install it anywhere' principle that comes from a DOS
background, but again the files are more spread-out on a linux/UNIX
system I suppose.
