Perhaps we could create symlinks to the files in /usr/local/bin

that case it wouldn't matter if we do or not, I guess... anyway, I think Allegro should work out of the box on MacOSX without problems. So if Apple considers it good form to install to /usr/ rather than /usr/local/ I think
we should follow their guidelines
Deciding where to install is what ./configure does, but IIRC you don't 
use configure for OSX, just fix.sh.
When I do gcc -v -E - </dev/null , /usr/local/include is in the list of 
directories to search (in OSX 10.2 and 10.3), but the directory doesn't 
exist in 10.3, as you said.
I think it should go in /usr/local/ , creating the directories if 
needed, and maybe fix.sh could check your path.
The 'true' Macintosh OS X way is not to have includes or lib at all, 
but to use Frameworks. Therefore I wouldn't worry about 'good form' in 
this case.
