Help with installing Emacs 23(CVS) to a custom path

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi everyone,

I was trying to install Emacs 23 from CVS on a Scientific Linux 4 
machine and ran into some problems. I am limited with write permissions 
to only my home area and the /scratchdisk. So I checked out the CVS tree 
in a directory in /scratchdisk and built emacs using

$ ./configure
$ make bootstrap

Then I edited the Makefile to use ${prefix}=/scratchdisk/myfolder and ran

$ make install

But this fails as make tries to install _some_ files in /usr/local/share/

How do I ask make to install everything in /scratchdisk/myfolder ? Also 
can I remove my build directory after `make install' succeeds? (short on 
disk space)

Thanks for any pointers.
