make PREFIX="/usr/local/lib/" install clean

If you ever deinstall, you will have to:

make PREFIX="/usr/local/lib/" deinstall clean

as well.  And if you try to:

make install clean

the system will complain that it's already installed in a different 
location.  And if you try to:

make deinstall clean

it will tell you that it's not installed there.
