I passed --prefix=/usr to configure but it seems like $install_dir is still
set to /usr/local
the install.mk is created with:
```
package_author_name =
install_dir = /usr/local/lib/couchdb
bin_dir = /usr/local/bin
libexec_dir = /usr/local/libexec/couchdb
doc_dir = /usr/local/share/doc/couchdb
sysconf_dir = /usr/local/etc/couchdb
data_dir = /usr/local/share/couchdb
database_dir =
view_index_dir = /couchdb
log_file = /usr/local/var/log/couch.log
user =
```
Its odd too that the view_index_dir and database_dir are set that way.
