I'll try that and post over here. However larger issue still remains. Configure help says  

==================================
 --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX

By default, \`make install' will install all the files in
\`$ac_default_prefix/bin', \`$ac_default_prefix/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than \`$ac_default_prefix' using \`--prefix',
for instance \`--prefix=\$HOME'.
==================================

If we go by above logic, that means I need to have all my libs $HOME.

Please suggest alternative way to install webkit build to different location, but still able to build from standard paths - which is what configure command without prefix flag does.

I have built other webkit dependencies with --prefix command and only webkit compilation is affected by this flag. It looks like all others treat it as just output location.
