I'm just looking for the answer to the question above. ---- the installation directory is whatever you chose when you compiled the tarball. How in the world is anyone going to know that but you but if you simply want guesses, that would likely be /usr/local/bin (like /usr/local, should not be changed). If you are going to compile things and can't be bothered to do ./configure --help or pass the configure parameters to guide the process to install into designated locations and can't figure out how to read a Makefile that will tell you where things are going when you tell it to 'install', how is anyone else going to know this? You have all of the information at your fingertips and we have none. The data directory, the socket location, PID location are also of concern - if you actually want to wonder about security but in reality, the package installation with SELinux will be substantially more secure than where you are headed (obviously with SELinux disabled).
