Can I make "make install" use someother prefix (different from the one set with configure --prefix) just to install the files without messing with configure --prefix ?

Well if you configured with /usr/bin (say), did a compile which somehow built that information into the build, and then you decided to install in /bin instead, do you think it would still work?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
It' depend. Some of the programs can be installed in any directory, some - only in the one specified during configureOriginally Posted by b1nd3r
You can try:
make install DESTDIR=/some/location
This only works if the makefile has support to do so.
Of course the correct way is to just rerun configure specifying the prefix.
