In fact, a quick look shows that /usr/local directory tree has no files in it!
As soon as you try and install a non-SuSE supplied RPM (or build from source) you see that almost everything wants to go into /usr/local by default.
and that's where it's /supposed/ to go... /local/ to your system. If you want it otherwise, then you've got to go and edit the resources to point to usr/ share instead. you do realise that you can run nfs shares of usr/share for other computers to access don't you... and they can mount those shares in their system and execute code on them just as if they were actually in the box and not over the network... All they need is the usr/share mountpoint in their local system and the local binaries to boot and mount with... there are too many people stuck with the "windows mentality" of having everything localy installed in the box...
