The distribution maker (i.e. RedHat).

It should probably be installed in /usr/local/lib.  It should
definitely *not* be installed in /lib unless the needed configure
flags are given.  More generally, it should not (without appropriate
configure flags) be installed in any place that the dynamically
linker by default searches before /lib.

There must be something I'm missing, since the above seems obvious
to me.
