q1:i've installed bullet with make install in ubuntu but the destination of installer take local repo"usr/local" instead of "usr".
where i compile new project , give me " error: btBulletDynamicsCommon.h: No such file or directory ", but bullet is already installed!!!!!!!
q2:How to make the bullet folder within my program folder?????

Your first question gives me an opportunity to address an issue that bullet has. Internally the bullet itself includes its own headers like:
In order to use the library in your application you have to add an extra include path. This path is the one that contains the bullet headers. Other libraries traditionally dont have that restriction because internally they use something like this:

• Rename the src directory to bullet so it can be compiled
• Change the CMakeLists.txt a little bit

there are a folder named "local" in "usr" folder.
bullet tak install here "usr/local/lib" , "usr/local/include" instead "usr/include" & "usr/lib".
