In Unix it is customary to install third party software in either /opt or /usr/local. The current install script for Unix puts the files directly in /usr, which is normally reserved for the OS. (See the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for details).

This is easy to fix. Change DefaultDirectory in constants.pas and DESTDIR in install.sh and uninstall.sh.

Fixes are included in the three attached files.
