Since I'm sitting in front of an SGI answering this email I'll throw in that it's actually put in /usr/freeware. It's quite annoying. I much prefer FreeBSD's /usr/local. My path under IRIX has to include: /usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin:/usr/freeware/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bsd:/usr/etc:/usr/gfx to encompass the various places software installs itself. It's so much nicer under FreeBSD to have one location to worry about third-party binaries showing up. -- Brandon D.
