I am compiling XBMC from GIT, on top of an XBMC live install.

Code:

xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ which xbmc
/usr/bin/xbmc

I am at the configure step and I need to know what prefix to use

Code:

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local]

It looks like xbmc-live puts xbmc in /usr/bin but the configure default is /usr/local. If I use /usr/local, will the upgrade just "take" or to I need to specify like /usr/ instead of /usr/local

? TIA!

Being that you will be removing the old version of xbmc, I don't see that it matters that much. The prefix is only if you want to have it in another directory other than default. I'd just go with default unless you have a specific reason for doing otherwise.
