Most of the arguments you specify to configure are already

well, that's particularly annoying ...
then why offer the --prefix arg in the first place? just for NON-framework installs?
Yes, --prefix is for non-framework installs. If you read the docs for frameworks, you'll see that it's only "lightly tested" with an alternate path. You may have more luck if you just use the defaults. The docs also say that you can move the framework later.
Oh, and note that if you DO move the framework, you will need to run install_name_tool over it, the python executable, and possibly ALL of the extensions if MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET was set to 10.2 (or maybe if not set at all, I haven't confirmed the default behavior when not set).
