If you want to PREFIX, you have to manually hack the generated Makefile near the top:

BIN = /usr/local/bin
MAN = /usr/local/man/man1
MAN5 = /usr/local/man/man5

Uninstall:

make uninstall

issues

Unable to send address bytes

If you got the error, like this:

tarting heyu_relay
Unable to send address bytes

maybe the X10 computer interface is not connected properly. If you are using USB-RS232 converter, try to plug-unplug the converter to solve this "freezing" problem.
