Chris-

You should not attempt to move the executables, libraries, etc. To 
install to a specific directory run configure with the --prefix argument 
like you would for any other package with the GNU build system. There is 
no need to do a "make clean". Just reconfigure with the appropriate 
--prefix=MY_INSTALL_DIR flag, run "make", and "make install". The "make" 
should do any real work, but I would do it anyway just to make sure 
everything is built.
