my best guess would be to specify a different directory in the ./configure script (providing there is one). try typing "./configure - h" in the install directory and find what options you'd have to include to change the install dir. it'd be something like "./configure --prefix=DIRECTORY" the default being "/usr/local". if there is no ./configure script... i'm afraid i'm still too much of a newbie myself to help you.
