There is an argument --prefix that governs where the stuff will be 
installed. Use --prefix=/usr to install over the stuff that came with 
the system, Traditionally, --prefix=/usr/local has often been used, 
prevents overwriting the stuff that came with the system, and the idea 
is to maintain a tree of "locally installed stuff". Recently, for 
experimental installation of stuff like Lirc, I like installing into a 
completely virgin directory, like $HOME/usr or something like that. (For 
testing, not deployment, and no systemd integration.) (Alec will likely 
chime in here...)

When "make install" you can read the outputs to find out where the 
shared libraries are installed, but I think it is typically something 
like $prefix/lib or such.

But the toolchain should get it right, otherwise report it as a bug. 
(But _do not_ expect mv-ing things around instead of "make install" will 
work.)

Also find out what the ldd program does...

Sorry, I did not check for anything Lirc-specific. Feel free to ask 
further questions.

Greetz,
