Hi, sorry, maybe I should have explained my self more brightly. Yes, we have a common /usr/local/ which is exported with NFS to all the machines. It is divided into two parts - one is architecture dependent and the other is not. When we compile we use the "--prefix" and "--exec-prefix" (or equivalence) in order to tell it what to put where. each machine uses NIS maps and automounter to mount the specific path it needs according to its architecture.
