path problem in cross compilation

Hi all.

I have successfully cross compiled dbus 1.2.1 for my arm board.
I'm quite new  to Dbus...
now I'm trying to launch the daemon:

./dbus-daemon --config-file=/nfs/utilities/dbus-arm/etc/dbus-1/system.conf
Failed to start message bus: Failed to bind socket
"/home/dodiesis/archivio/Stuff/label/utili/blablabla....

I've a path problem.
This is the configure line

./configure --disable-xml-docs --disable-doxygen-docs --without-x
--build i686-linux --host arm-linux --target arm-linux
-prefix=/home/dodiesis/bla/and/bla

The situations is:
- on my pc I have an exported NFS dir, with all the arm filesystem :
/home/dodiesis/bla/and/bla
- on the arm board that dir is mounted under : /nfs

I can't sync the name of the two dirs. So the problem is that dbus is
looking for his conf file (and maybe other stuff) in the $prefix
path... the wrong place.


How can I tell to the autotools that:
- the installation path is /home/path/to
BUT
- the real path on the board will be /nfs/

Tnx all
