you could put your own files whereever you want - as long as you know
where they are. :)
FHS
(http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.htmlhttp://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html)
tells "/usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries
that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts."
and for /usr/local:
The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when
installing software locally.
so i would say if you wan't to comply FHS standards, you put them into
/usr/local/lib . i put all programs in /usr/local which are not
installed with rpm/dpkg system - so you have the overview which software
you haven't installed with apt-get/rpm/yum/etc. Normaly /usr/local/bin
is in PATH before /usr/bin so that the local/bin takes precedence.
