Hi Salvatore,

Sorry about that post, I wasn't having a very good day :)   I think 
you're right. It isn't a problem and is pretty standard behaviour.

I guess I was just expecting the Makefile to dump the files in PREFIX 
because the install process is so lightweight and minimal (i.e. no libs, 
man files, conf files etc. just a handful of binaries).

As for putting redis in /usr/local/sbin, again you're right and there is 
no intrinsic reason it should be there. Our nginx and uwsgi binaries 
live in /usr/local/sbin and it just felt natural to put redis in the 
same place.

All the best,
Charlie
