Just for the record and the mailing list,  you can also specify where guitar lives
on your   configure pass, during compilation.
./configure --with-user=operator  \
 --with-group=root \
 --with-index-server=<FQDN>  \
 --with-tape-device=tape:/dev/nst3  \
 --with-config=daily \
 --with-gnutar=/bin/tar  \
