That is how I do it. I haven't needed "--exec-prefix". Here is part
of my openmpi-confiure:
OPENMPI_BASE=/usr/local/openmpi-1.2.8
# Create a name for the build directory
#
BUILD_DIR=${OPENMPI_BASE}/build_${COMPILER}-${OPTIONS}
echo "building in ${BUILD_DIR}"
# create the build directory
#
[[ -d ${BUILD_DIR} ]] || mkdir ${BUILD_DIR}
[[ -d ${BUILD_DIR} ]] || {
echo "Failed to create ${BUILD_DIR}. exit."
exit 0
}
# make the configure command
#
COM="../configure --prefix=${BUILD_DIR} "
Hope that helps,
Douglas.
