No, I meant "--prefix" as in the command line option to ./configure,
e.g. "--prefix=/usr", and "etc" as in "et cetera", not the directory.
Something like "./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var".
Generally, it is best to use the same flags that you distribution uses.
Then you'll overwrite existing files instead writing them to a different
directory and potentially causing confusion.
