You would have had to pass the --prefix parameter to setup.py. I've
just committed a change to the Makefile to accept a PREFIX variable, so
you can "svn up" your local working copy now and then set "PREFIX" in
your Makefile to point to /usr/local and "sudo make install"
into /usr/local. For testing out things locally, it's easier to simply
do a "make test" in the working copy - this does not need superuser
permissions and runs gPodder from the working copy.


Enjoy,
Thomas
