Conclusion: I think Linux Mint itself is generally are FHS compliant although
that may not be the case for all of the software in the repository. Guess it
depends how much the individual developers are willing to be compliant and
then whether the packagers are willing/able to put the effort in if a

That is my take on the FHS defnitions as well. Distro packagers should be
installing third part software into /usr as frank pointed out.

"The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when
installing software locally" means software that is *not* installed

install to that location so it is safe to put things like self-built
gnucash there.

I guess I'm confused, when I read the FHS, I see:
4.9.1. Purpose
The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing
software locally. It needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system
software is updated. It may be used for programs and data that are sharea

If that is right, you should file a bug report against your distribution.

Building v3.0-3.7 directly on either Linux Mint 17,18,19 or Ubuntu
18.04,18.10 etc isn't all that difficult. The main difficulty is getting
the correct dependencies and development headers for them installed and
setup initially and the build environment setup. The list and notes on the
wiki are as
