I am running KDE desktop and trying to build and install libfpx as first step in building GraphicsMagick to work with .fpx files.
The installation instructions included in the libfpx-master download from git suggest that the installation should put libfpx in /use/local/bin:-
Installation Names
By default,
make install' will install the package's files in/usr/local/bin’,/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than/usr/local’ by givingconfigure' the option–prefix=PATH’.
Sadly libfpx has not appeared in this directory but I have no errors that I can see in the installation process. Here is what the installation did:-

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib64
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

/usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/include'

Well out of my depth here but I cannot see the part that tells me that the libfpx file should be in my /usr/local/bin directory. I ran the installation as sudo because otherwise the program refused to make directories in my system, which I assume is all as it should be. Have I messed up so far?
