tlug: "make install"ing to somewhere other than --prefix

["Austin Kurahone" <a_downunder@example.com>]

Hi everyone,

I was just trying to install glibc2.1, and I was wondering if it is 
possible to make install to a directory other than what I defined in 
"./configure --prefix=(DIR_NAME)" so that if the installation fails, I 
won't trash my C compiler, /lib and etc.  Basically is it possible to 
change the target installation directory to somewhere else after I ran 
make.  It it ok to just edit the makefile?

Yours,
Austin K. Kurahone
