/usr/local already has stuff in it, and I'd like to keep the tarball-installed stuff separate from the yum-installed stuff. Actually, I was thinking about using /opt. My main concern is dependancies: if a yum installed package needs package foo-1.0 and I install a tarball that wants foo-0.9 then I want to be able to install foo-0.9 in /opt with the tarballed stuff.
