I use a program called epkg. Check out the following address for specific info: http://www-wsg.cso.uiuc.edu/encap/ epkg works similar to Debian's dpkg, but only works in /usr/local. The general principle is that you extract your program somewhere, typically /usr/local/epkg, then run "epkg -i <packagename>" and epkg creates symbolic links to appropriate directories (e.g. /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc.) When I custom compile something, or install something that a Deb package does not exist for, I use epkg, and it works great.
