bamtools-2.3.0 will not work

[godzilla07]

I tried to install bamtools 2.3.0 onto the Mac OSX 10.6.8 server as root. It built using the git hub commands from https://github.com/pezmaster31/bamto...and-installing
It was built as root into the directory:
/private/var/root/bamtools.
Everytime I use bamtools, the computer can't find the command, so I moved the bamtools directory to /usr/bin but I still can't get it to work.
Any suggestions?

When you say you can't get it to work even after moving it into /usr/bin, what does that mean exactly? Can it still not be found? Do you get an error message? Does your computer suddenly explode?

I was able to get it to run by putting the executable in /usr/local/bin.
Thankyou
