Hi all,
I got a couple of off-list replies. I summarize them here for future
googlers :-)
Both replies suggested that ~/emacs/site-lisp was probably the right
thing. (You can ensure that works by including a line like
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/brian/emacs/site-lisp")
early in your .emacs.)
The really helpful bit was reminding me that I ought to run the make
dance as me, rather than by sudo'ing. This will ensure that the
process will only work if I am indeed installing into my local directory.
Thanks to those who wrote,
Brian vdB
