Spim is a MIPS-32 simulator and I need to install it for CSC-230 at Glendale 
Community College.  This means building from source.  

I am running SuSE 10.1

I figure I can set BIN_DIR to something reasonable.
I can never figure out where (or how) the system keeps the MAN files.
I have no clue where to point EXCEPTION_DIR.

Installation in $HOME instead of root is fine, except that I'd like to keep 
the files on $PATH and man_path (or whatever the environment variable for man 
happens to be).

From: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/spim.html

Next, you must set the directories in which spim will be installed by editing 
the Makefile (the file that contains instructions on building spim). In 
general, if you are installing spim and want the windowing version (xspim), 
edit the file xspim/Imakefile. If you don't want xspim or are running on a 
system without X-windows installed, you use the file  spim/Makefile.

Set these pathnames to the appropriate locations for your system:

    EXCEPTION_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which to install 
the spim exception handler (exceptions.s).

    BIN_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which spim and xspim 
should be installed.

    MAN_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which the manual pages 
for spim and xspim should be installed.
