Octave's Makefile.am files have lines like
octlib_LTLIBRARIES = liboctave.la
octlib_LTLIBRARIES = liboctinterp.la
so these files are installed in $(octlibdir) and the default
definition of octlibdir is set in configure.ac to be
'$(libdir)/octave/$(version)'
You are of course free to redefine this to be '$(libdir)' instead, and
I think that will cause the libraries to be installed into /usr/lib if
you set $(prefix) to be /usr.
