./configure --prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX --libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/sbin \ --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome && make && make install |

--localstatedir=/var/lib : This switch puts scrollkeeper files in /var/lib/scrollkeeper instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome : This switch puts configuration files in /etc/gnome instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc.
