howdy.
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?
It' depend. Some of the programs can be installed in any directory, some - only in the one specified during configureQuote:

This only works if the makefile has support to do so.
Of course the correct way is to just rerun configure specifying the prefix.
