| When intalling from binary the development files, i.e. gtkmm 2.4,
etc., etc., should I install this files in the '/usr' directory or in
the '/' [root directory]?
What is the diference between one and the other?
Thanks folks!

In short:
You should only install your own software any in one of your home
directory ${HOME} or /usr/local/ or /opt/
In $HOME four your personal testing and use
In /usr/local/ for all your users pleasure (and woes  )
In /opt/ for commercial software.
/bin and /usr/bin (etc) is for Debian package systems exclusive use.
Yes, you CAN install there, but that only makes a mess out of things
when you later want to clean out that software or reinstall software.
It's your call ;-)
Good luck
