The build instructions specify the following command:

sudo make install PREFIX=~/.local/bin

I think the command should be:

make install PREFIX=~/.local

That is:

  • not as root
  • without the extraneous /bin. (Otherwise you end up with binaries installed on a path like ~/.local/bin/bin/rgblink, and manpages installed in ~/.local/bin/share/man...)
