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
