New issue 549 by sliverdr...@gmail.com: Cannot install to anywhere except /usr/local/lib
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=549

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download version 2.5.0 of protobuf source (https://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.gz)
2. unpack: 'tar -xvzf protobuf-2.5.0.tar.gz'
3. configure for single user install: 'cd protobuf-2.5.0; ./configure --prefix="/home/sliverdragon37"'
4. compile: 'make -j8'
5. attempt install: 'make install'

Supposedly this should install everything in the home directory. Instead it quits partway through with this error:

libtool: install: error: cannot install `libprotoc.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/local/lib
make[3]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/sliverdragon37/protobuf-2.5.0/src'
make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sliverdragon37/protobuf-2.5.0/src'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sliverdragon37/protobuf-2.5.0/src'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

This is protouf-2.5.0

Below is the output of 'cat /proc/version':
Linux version 3.4.2-0cse.1 (oy...@ponsonby.cs.washington.edu) (gcc version 4.7.2 20120921 (Red Hat 4.7.2-2) (GCC) ) #19 SMP Wed May 15 11:01:51 PDT 2013

I'm trying to use protobuf (and ultimately mosh) on a computer where I don't have root access.
