The process > has ended up this way: Don't change `prefix' at install time. You should only set prefix with configure. And if you try, it will say: configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix: ../myinstalldir It's DESTDIR that you may change at install time: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html And as has been said, that should be absolute too.
