[Partially Solved] wacomcpl is not working

i compiled and installed the latest linuxwacom packages, not from AUR but from the linuxwacom site directly.  everything works fine, except i can't get linuxwacom to work, here is what happens:

[cucara@localhost catfish]$ wacomcpl
bash: wacomcpl: command not found

[cucara@localhost catfish]$ /usr/local/bin/wacomcpl
wacomcpl: using TCLLIBPATH="[list  /usr/local/lib ]"
Error in startup script: couldn't execute "xsetwacom": no such file or directory
    while executing
"exec xsetwacom list"
    (procedure "createDeviceList" line 4)
    invoked from within
"createDeviceList "
    (procedure "createControls" line 8)
    invoked from within
"createControls"
    (file "/usr/local/bin/wacomcpl-exec" line 1835)

[cucara@localhost catfish]$ /usr/local/bin/wacomcpl-exec
Error in startup script: can't find package LIBWACOMXI
    while executing
"package require LIBWACOMXI"
    (file "/usr/local/bin/wacomcpl-exec" line 28)

i checked and i do have xsetwacom installed, even though i can't execute just by typing "xsetwacom" at the console (or i get "command not found"), i have to do this:

[cucara@localhost catfish]$ /usr/local/bin/xsetwacom

and i do have a bunch of libwacomxi files intalled:

/usr/local/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.a
/usr/local/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.la
/usr/local/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.so
/usr/local/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.so.0
/usr/local/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.so.0.0.0

...thats as far as i've gotten.  suggestions?

Re: [Partially Solved] wacomcpl is not working

ok i figured out the problem:

when installing from source i used prefix=/usr/local , as suggested by arch linux wiki (for installing from source)

howerver this puts wacomcpl and the other executables in /usr/local/bin folder and they don't work from there.
so i had to copy those files into /usr/bin to make them work.
what would be the proper way to install this with the binaries going directly into /usr/bin?
