[linux] Make install, but not to default directories?

It could be dependent upon what is supported by the module you are trying to compile. If your makefile is generated by using autotools, use:

--prefix=<myinstalldir>

when running the ./configure

some packages allow you to also override when running:

make prefix=<myinstalldir>

however, if your not using ./configure, only way to know for sure is to open up the makefile and check. It should be one of the first few variables at the top.
