> I'm wondering where is the proper location to put a tarball (containing source code) that I've downloaded and want to untar and compile. In Linux, you generally would put it in /usr/src. I know all the FreeBSD documentation says /usr/local is where all your personalized software I put the tarballs in /tmp. Then I use make which actually compiles/installs software. You can override default install directory. After that, I simply rm -Rf /tmp/tarball.
