The Makefile script doesn't use $PREFIX when I use make install, instead, it tries to install on /usr/local/.

It seems it can be fixed changing ac_default_prefix in configure to ${PREFIX:-/usr/local}.

Hi,

For projects which rely on the autotools, the recommended way to specify the installation path is to use the --prefix option of the configure script as follows:

$ configure --prefix=<your_installation_path>
