Hardly ever do I type 'make install'. I stick to 
Base/Updates/Epel/Elrepo. Only if it's really necessary do I install

proper RPMs.

I'll tell the users of our cluster (which I happen to manage as an 
extra) that they cannot submit any jobs any longer because their stuff 
is not and cannot be installed as an RPM ...
