In RPM based Linux, the software usually tends to install in /usr or /usr/local or even /opt.
RPM and DEB packages will automatically install the software in whatever directory they are supposed to go.
You can put tar balls anywhere you want, but be careful. It is always a good idea to put your 3rd party software in /opt. Smilie

NAME
libquvi - Overview of query media library DESCRIPTION
libquvi is a cross-platform library for parsing flash media stream URLs with C API. The term "quvi" is a shorthand for "query video". API documentation <http://quvi.sourceforge.net/doc/> Motivation libquvi originates from the idea of allowing users to view the videos without having to install or use flash. It is a "workaround", not an "alternative" to flash. See also: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Performance> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Flash_client_security> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Alternatives_to_Flash> ENVIRONMENT
LIBQUVI_SCRIPTSDIR Path to the libquvi-scripts directory. This overrides the libquvi default search paths for the scripts. See also the tutorial in the "API documentation". LIBQUVI_SHOW_SCANDIR If set, libquvi prints the lua script search paths to the stderr. LIBQUVI_SHOW_SCRIPT If set, the lua scripts found by libquvi are printed to the stderr. WWW
Home : <http://quvi.sourceforge.net> gitweb: <http://repo.or.cz/w/libquvi.git> LICENSE
libquvi is free software, licensed under the LGPLv2.1+. The lua scripts that libquvi uses are considered as programs and using the lua scripts is linking. SEE ALSO
