[Qgis-developer] not being installed to path specifed with --prefix during configure

[nitin quick]

Here is a list of steps i took while installing QGIS preview 2 on FC4
intel box.
 To generate configure i did and got

 > autoconf
 configure.in:47: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
       See the Autoconf documentation.
 configure.in:65: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
 configure.in:66: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
 configure.in:277: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
 configure.in:293: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LEX
 configure.in:418: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GSL
 	
 I am not aware of its reasons. So as other way i did
 > ./autogen.sh --with-qtdir=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.2/
--with-postgresql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
--with-grass=/home1/grass-6.0.2/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/ --enable-debug
--prefix=/home1/qgisPreview2Install

 	
 Things went fine and got makefiles.
 then for building
 >make
