    Dear James,

    As explained in the configure help

    $ ./configure --help

     ...

       FLAG DESCRIPTION DEFAULT

   --aclocaldir    Autoconf macro install dir(<prefix>/share/aclocal)
   --bindir        Binary installation dir   (<prefix>/bin)
   --build         Build configuration [debug, exceptions, ...],
                   overrides the ROOTBUILD shell variable
   --cintincdir    CINT interpeted headers   (<libdir>/cint)
   --datadir       Data installation dir     (<prefix>/share/root)
   --docdir        Documentation             (<prefix>/share/doc/root)
   --elispdir      Where to put Emacs Lisp   
(<prefix>/share/emacs/site-lisp)
   --etcdir        Config installation dir   (/etc/root)
   --fontdir       Font installation dir     (<datadir>/fonts)
   --iconpath      Icon installation dir     (<datadir>/icons)
   --incdir        Header installation dir   (<prefix>/include/root)
   --libdir        Library installation dir  (<prefix>/lib/root)
   --macrodir      Macro installation dir    (<datadir>/macros)
   --mandir        Manpages installation dir (<prefix>/share/man/man1)
   --no-create     Do not create output files, dry run
   --no-stubs      Remove Stubs from dictionaries (Direct call mechanism)

   --no-stubs-test Remove Stubs from dictionaries (Direct call mechanism, can be switched off in rootrc)

   --prefix        Installation prefix       (/usr/local)
   --srcdir        Sources installation dir  (<datadir>/src)
   --testdir       Tests                     (<docdir>/test)
   --tutdir        Tutorials                 (<docdir>/tutorial)

     ...

    specifying a prefix does not automatically redirect the ect dir.     You have to explicitly tell the system to do that via -etcdir
