Usually there are also other path options in configure - such as
--bindir, --sbindir, --sysconfdir, etc. You can try to set them to the
paths you need. Sometimes it helps when --prefix does not work.

hi...
in general, how do i build an app using
./configure
make
make install
and have the output/executable be placed in a directory other than the one

the "./configure" or the "make install"...
In general....
./configure --help
Will give you the information you desire...
