Did you ever read the INSTALL docs that come with every GNU autoconf'ed
package, or the ./configure --help message? If so, how did you manage
to not see the --prefix option? This should solve all your problems in
one shot. For private builds, it's a common idiom to
./configure --prefix=$HOME
and then go on as you normally would.
