Please bottom post, and please read the previous threads. Your information is correct, but has already been provided. I didn't see much in that document that hasn't already been covered.

I tried hacking in Makefile etc, resetting different paths. They did not work too. But setting both PREFIX and LIB variables did the trick. It is working fine now.
