You've probably installed it without reading the READ_ME file.  It is
distributed with #define DEBUG set to 1.  So you can compile it and
test it a little before install it on your system.  When you are ready
to install it "for real" remove the #define DEBUG, recompile, and 
install.  

Two other things: the Makefile needs to have a "-cckr" added to the
CFLAGS, I missed that.  Also, the path is set to /usr/local/bin, so
you might want to change that as well.
