make rpms is also a possibility here if you prefer to have RPMs that you
can install rather than "make install".

Personally, I would never pollute the filesystem of any machine I run,
much less a production system with a "make install".  I prefer to have
every file in my filesystems catalogued and managed by the O/S' package
management system so that amongst other things, they are cleaned up on
upgrades, package removals, etc.

YMMV though.
