I just downloaded the bigint libraries online. I already ran the makefile and all and now I have a folder full of the library files in my desktop. I guess my question is, what files should I add to /usr/lib and where should I have the rest so that I can easily include them in any project I am working on?

You will need to move all *.o, except for sample.o
also change their name (prefix them with `lib', and end in .a)
so it ends /usr/local/lib/libBigIntegerAlgorithms.a


The *.hh should be in the INCLUDE_PATH. (by instance, /usr/local/include )

That makefile does not have a "install" target ? If yes, just run sudo make install again.
