Thanks @Jocelyn. For some strange reason I cannot seem to install Samson in ~/ (/home/shozeb/)
It gives me Samson not correctly installed and there are no other error messages. I have deleted everything and then tried it again. I get the same error message.

Hi,

I am trying to install Samson in /usr/local/ as a root. However, it doesn't install there. What is the default place where the executable be found? Secondly, if I install it in my home (not as a root) and I launch it, it says another instance of Samson found, when that is not the case. Any advise?

Many thanks.
