It's a lot simpler (if you _must_ configure with components in unrelated
directories) to use a shell script wrapper for configure, e.g.,

        #!/bin/sh
        TOP=/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2.4
        LIBS="-L$TOP/lib -R$TOP/lib -lncurses"; export LIBS
        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$TOP/include"; export CFLAGS
        ./configure --with-screen=ncurses $*

but it's usually simpler to install packages in a related place, so you can
use --prefix as David Mackenzie intended.
