(I know where to add it for individual users but not everyone.) as for compiling please see Florin's earlier post as my first one was wrong. With respect to the biaries in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin if you don't add those two dirs to your $PATH you'll need to specify the explicit path or relative path on the command line to run them. the ld.so.conf thing I mentioned is only needed if you've linked against something in those directories ( /usr/local/lib etc.) and try to run it later on and get a "Error loading libllama.so: No such file or directory" type error. If you get this, and the lib in question is in the aforementioned dir tree, you'll want to make sure it in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH by adding it to /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig.
