IIRC the makefile for the docs expects you to have done a configure over
in the src directory, and it's looking there for an override on the
default install dir. Go back and run configure (needn't build) with the
right --prefix.
I think Peter E. is making this cleaner for 7.1, but that's how it
worked last time I looked.
