Not sure, though some more information would help:

1) Am I right in assuming you are building everything from source?

2) If not what is your install procedure?

3) When you say all the contrib modules do really mean all or all in
some list?

4) Where is the directory you want them to be installed in located?

5) What OS are you using?

6) Have you looked at an OS packaging systems to do this?
