Sure, using configure, specify a directory over which you have complete control instead of the default /usr/local. Someone else may chime in with the detailed option name (I don't have the source in front of me).
I've done this (... uhh, a coupl'a decades ago...) specifying my home directory. Then "make install" drops everything into subdirectories (of the specified directory) named bin, lib, etc.

With respect, I think this is the wrong question to ask. If you have configured as I suggest above, you then only need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the <dir>/lib directory in order for the shared library to be found.
Hope this makes sense,
Mark
