+Usual options for udev installed in the root filesystem are:

+    --prefix=/usr \
+    --sysconfdir=/etc \
+    --sbindir=/sbin \
+    --libdir=/usr/lib64 \
+    --with-rootlibdir=/lib64 \

-The installation directories are controlled by $prefix, $exec_prefix
-$sysconfdir and $libdir-name. Documentation, development files are
-installed below $prefix, binaries are installed below $exec_prefix,
-libraries below $exec_prefix/$libdir-name.

-The default configuration for a RPM spec file may look like:
-  --prefix=%{_prefix}
-  --exec-prefix=""
-  --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}
-  --with-libdir-name=%{_lib}
