Distributions do their own thing, for example where Red Hat installs may not be the same place as where SUSE installs.

I am using mandrake, the Gimp is installed in /usr so if I rebuild Gimp, I have to set --prefix=/usr otherwise it will go into /usr/local (and I would have two of them... which is ok if comparing the two)

So just search around and see where things are installed.

As a general rule if you are into rpms, use the rpms from the same source and they will be built in the same way(in theory)
