Literally: 'make install' was not tested. Nevertheless Johnny supports system-wide installation out of the box. # cp johnny /usr/bin/johnny and installation is done.

First of all I'd say that there is a system-wide installable John the Ripper: you could get one from your Linux distribution (and .pot will be in user's home dir and available only to its owner). I could guess that john does not want to be installed because it is used for performance critical tasks, i.e. users are expected to have different version/builds with different (maybe incompatible) settings. Also I should admit that core john allows only one section of rules to be used with wordlist (i.e. --rules does not accept argument) so 2 folders with john is the only way to run 2 wordlist sessions with different rules simultaneously. With system-wide installation you could not achieve that. Thanks! -- Regards, Aleksey Cherepanov
