Your home directory is yours: create any structure you want in it. If you want a complex application to be shared with other users on the machine, /opt is for that. Create a subdirectory and proceed. If you want a separation of OS-installed and local libraries and binaries, you can use /usr/local -- it should already have bin/ etc/ games/ include/ lib/ man/ share/ src/ created for you. There's an optional advanced version of this through the GNU stow package. Finally, if you want to delve into the packaging system, you can create a .deb package for installing and uninstalling your work cleanly. -dsr-
