No, in /opt/trinity.

I already tried that.  It does not work for me.

Is there a way to browse the git tree via a web interface?

After some more research, the following works for me:

---------
TRINITY_PREFIX=/opt/trinity

cp -v /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4       admin/libtool.m4.in
cp -v /usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh admin/ltmain.sh

sed -i -e "s@/usr/include/tqt@$TRINITY_PREFIX/include/tqt@" \
           admin/acinclude.m4.in

make -f admin/Makefile.common

./configure --prefix=$TRINITY_PREFIX \
             --enable-closure         \
             --sysconfdir=/etc        \
             --localstatedir=/var     \
             --with-extra-libs=$TRINITY_PREFIX/lib

make
---------

admin/acinclude.m4.in hard codes /usr/include/tqt instead of getting it 
from tqt.pc, which is set up correctly on my system.  It also does not 
set up the Trinity libraries correctly, even though it could be 
determined from either the PATH or --prefix.

Note that I could not detect any effect for --sysconfdir or 
--localstatedir for kdeadmin.
