If there is a configure option to specify this, I would be happy to

Hi,
Sorry, I haven't read your original message attentively enough and
completely misinterpreted the nature of your question / complaint. I can
see now that you're talking about the great Debian-specific
'dist-packages' hack and not the default prefix not being /usr.
To be honest, I can't tell why it isn't working for you, because actually
the build system of nlopt calls AM_PATH_PYTHON macro to find out what the
$(pyexecdir) should be by querying the python interpreter you asked it to,
which in essence works like this:
python -c "import sys; from distutils import
sysconfig;python_lib(1,0,prefix='/usr/local'))"
On my old Debian machine it correctly returns for system Python 2.6
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
Obviously, it doesn't work for you though, but either way, it must be
caused by Debian patches or a bug in the autotools macro, not a problem
with nlopt build system itself.
If you want to get to the bottom of it, you have to find out why
$(pyexecdir) is set incorrectly. Or, you can forget about all this
Debian-specific pain and just use virtualenv.
P.S. Just to make it clear, I'm not a developer of nlopt.
