Yeah, you're definitely right about configure being very customizable...but I don't know how to work around this.
You said configure is usually told where to install things. What tells it where to install things? Better yet, can you tell me where I can read more about building an installable source for Linux so that I understand what exactly goes on during the 'configure', 'make' and 'make install' process?
Try ./configure --help for basic info on how to use it. More generally, these things are autogenerated by the GNU tools
autoconf, automake, and libtool. Be prepared for lots and lots of fun if you insist on hacking these things.

packets to a remote system. Do this by changing the entries in the file. For further information, see The daemon uses an internet data-
gram socket to log information across systems.
Parameters related to such as the desired location for the errorlog file or files, as well as instructions for local and remote logging,
can be specified in the error logging configuration file, For further information, see
