Hi Andreas/Adam,
I think /usr/local/pgadmin3 is the right place. /usr/X11R6/bin should be
for components of X11R6 that came with the OS, whereas /usr/local/ is
specifically for additional programs installed by the local admin. If it
ever gets popular enough to ship with 'pgLinux' for example :-) then
/usr/pgadmin3 would seem sensible.
Regards, Dave.
