-After installing XFree86/X.org and the DRI drivers, some of these files
-may be symlinks into the /usr/X11R6/ tree.

-The old-style Makefile system doesn't install the Mesa libraries; it's
-up to you to copy them (and the headers) to the right place.
+When configuring Mesa, there are three autoconf options that affect the install
+location that you should take care with: <code>--prefix</code>,
+<code>--libdir</code>, and <code>--with-dri-driverdir</code>. To install Mesa
+into the system location where it will be available for all programs to use, set
+<code>--prefix=/usr</code>. Set <code>--libdir</code> to where your Linux
+distribution installs system libraries, usually either <code>/usr/lib</code> or
+<code>/usr/lib64</code>. Set <code>--with-dri-driverdir</code> to the directory
+where your Linux distribution installs DRI drivers. To find your system's DRI
+driver directory, try executing <code>find /usr -type d -name dri</code>. For
+example, if the <code>find</code> command listed <code>/usr/lib64/dri</code>,
+then set <code>--with-dri-driverdir=/usr/lib64/dri</code>.
