(If you haven’t already done so, see <http://live555.com/liveMedia/#config-unix>)

This is OK.

Why did you do that?  Instead, just do (inside the “live” directory):
	make install

You probably should also do
	sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/live
to undo what you did before.

After you’ve built the code, the “testMPEG1or2AudioVideoStreamer” demonstration application will be in the “testProgs” directory (inside “live”).

If you also ran “make install”, then this (and other) demonstration applications will have been put in a standard application binary directory - perhaps “/usr/local/bin” or “/usr/bin”.
