>Yes I did --prefix=/usr/local/brltty56 when I configured it.

How are you running it? Are you running it from /usr/local/brltty56/Programs/ 
(wrong) or from /usr/locl/brlty56/bin/ (right)?

>So all the 5.6 files are in that directory.

That should be mostly okay. One problem, though, is that both the build and 
install locations have a lib/ subdirectory. It ought to work, though, so I 
think I'll rename the build tree's lib/ subdirectory. For now, just to avoid 
this complication, I think you should do the build somewhere else. If you'd 
like to keep it altogether then perhaps create /usr/local/brltty56/build/ for 
doing the build.

>I installed 5.3.1 as root and it runs fine whether I am root or not.

I'm not sure what you mean. The constraint is that brltty itself needs to be 
started as root in order to be able to access all that it needs to for full 
functionality.
