You shouldn't use any other PREFIX than /usr/local unless you have a
really good reason, as it will mix your manually installed packages
with the rest of your packages, which often isn't such a great idea.
Just using it because you think it might help, is not a really good
reason, it's actually the worst reason you have. You now probably have
compiz installed both in /usr/bin/compiz and /usr/local/bin/compiz,
and the same with libraries.

You should delete one of them, I would go for the /usr/bin one, so
you're certain which one is run when you just type "compiz".

Yeah, there was a silly typo in the script (A missing space before a ]
), if you git pull now it should work better for most people.Let me
know if it still SIGEG's, which I suppose it does. You might want to
add crashhandler as the first plugin (ie: PLUGINS="crashhandler ini" )
so we can get a backtrace.

Ah, yeah, I haven't actually done any clever checking for that yet.
It's on the todo list :)

Yes, then make sure you run:
ldconfig

The changes don't take effect until you run ldconfig, and you may want
to re-compile (or actually: Re-link) after this. Since ccs-settings is
the new thing, that's what you should go for, but that would mean
using "ccp" not "ini" in the plugin list :)

I'm not entirely sure I want to recommend people that just yet, I'm
using it now myself and it works well, but it's not really ready for
large scale testing yet, though it seems to get a lot better for every
day.

Yeah, but WHAT hardware+ drivers? It looks like normal nVidia with
direct rendering?
