All of these directories are default values used to create this document. You compiled this package locally, and maybe you also changed some of these compile time constants, but produced no new customized documentation. In this case, the paths used in this documents don't match the real program. Some of the really used paths are contained in the manual page rablib(3). Note that you may change some of these locations in the global configuration file.
