[compiz] issues with non /usr install-prefix

Greetings everybody!

	I'm trying to figure out how to get compiz install error-free in a
prefix other than /usr. Because I currently don't "trust"
compiz-packages on Ubuntu EdgyEft I have it install upstream
to /home/mirco/compiz.

I call configure like this:

	./configure	--prefix=/home/mirco/compiz
			--enable-librsvg
			--enable-gtk
			--enable-metacity
			--enable-dbus
			--enable-gconf
			--enable-gnome
			--disable-schemas-install

	The call to "make" finishes ok. But at the end "make install" spits out
this:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mirco/src/compiz/gtk/gnome'
if test -w /window-manager-settings; then ( \
                /bin/bash ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install
-c  \
                /window-manager-settings \
                ); \
        fi
if test -w ; then ( \
                /usr/bin/install -c -m 644   \
                ); \
        fi
/usr/bin/install: missing file operand
Try `/usr/bin/install --help' for more information.
make[1]: *** [install-exec-local] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mirco/src/compiz/gtk/gnome'
make: *** [install-am] Error 2

	This /window-manager-settings looks pretty odd. I wonder what's causing
the path to be truncated there.

Thanks in advance for any hints!

Best regards...
