With respect to FHS, you mean /usr/lib, correct?  Supposedly:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALLOCALHIERARCHY
"The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when
installing software locally."
... so, if packaged by a distro/os, then OGo would be installed as you
described, but in /usr, not /usr/local, yes?

bla bla! j/k ;-)

I haven't looked into OGo for a while, but out of curiousity, does it
still/does-it-work support classic GNUstep/OpenSTEP installation
Domains?  I suppose I could just look, but I'm curious if it still
does, and if it is still planned to be supported for the future.

I mainly ask, 'cause one of these days I'm likely going to be
maintaining the ebuild on Gentoo for it ...

Thanks,
