About the building process and darrc installation path:

This relies on two options available with the ./configure script:
--prefix (which defaults to /usr/local)
--sysconfdir (which default to PREFIX/etc

thus by default, darrc should be installed in /usr/local/etc unless you 
ask something else.

for more options see './configure --help'

If you get darrc file installed at another place, this probably mean you 
have been using one or both of these options.

Cheers,
Denis
