Building from source problem on Debian

I have downloaded the source code from bitbucket, and ran the
platform/unix/automagic
./configure
make

from the root directory. Every thing seems to have worked fine, i get no errors.
There is however no love command available on my machine (with Debian 8), for example running

Code: Select all

love .
from a game directory containing a main.lua file gives the error:
bash: /usr/bin/love: No such file or directory
There is of course a love executable in the /src dir of the package, i tried also running

Code: Select all

path/to/src/love /path/to/gmae/main.lua
, still get the same error.

Can any one help?

PS: i have used sudo before each compiling command, so i thought it should be installed systemwide.

`make` builds the program, `make install` installs it, usually.
I don't actually recall if that's how it works in love, but that is how it usually works everywhere else
