This is entirely correct, but I do not think Greg issue was linked to sagemath.

Given that various files were installed in wrong places under /usr/local, it is 
not inconceivable that some incorrect files were installed in /usr too.

In that case reinstalling the package would replace the incorrect files by
correct versions.

Bottom line: do not do 'sudo make install'.  Install the file somewhere safe
instead.

If you really really want to do "sudo make install", do first
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/PARI
check that everything in /tmp/PARI is in the right directory and
then only do 'sudo make install'.

Cheers,
Bill.
