Did you ever read the INSTALL docs that come with every GNU autoconf'ed
package, or the ./configure --help message?  If so, how did you manage
to not see the --prefix option?  This should solve all your problems in
one shot.  For private builds, it's a common idiom to

        ./configure --prefix=$HOME

and then go on as you normally would.
