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!
