Donn,

You'll have to regenerate the configure script.  Running "sh  
autogen.sh" should do the trick.

Standard warning notice: Installing with a /usr prefix (particularly  
with libdir=/usr/lib) can be very dangerous due to potential naming  
conflicts.  You can render a system unusable if you inadvertently  
overwrite system libraries.

Cheers!
Sean
