Hi Idan,

what's important in the end is what's in the CMakeLists.txt in your
build folder, I'd suggest to have a look at the content of this file
first (and possibly re-run cmake or ccmake with different parameters
until you get the desired CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX).

the repos without any issues?

As long as it's installed to a different prefix: totally

Cheers
Matthias
