Scrollkeeper won't make-install

[Anthony <orders nodivisions com>]

How come I'm the only one asking questions about installing Gnome 2.4 
around here?  Is everyone else just a lot better at this than I am?

Anyway, here's the latest problem: make install for scrollkeeper does a 
bunch of stuff, and then does this:

>>>
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/var/log
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" 
; \
        echo "`date +\"%b %d %X\"` Installing ScrollKeeper 
`scrollkeeper-config --version`..." >> /usr/local/var/log/scrollkeeper.log
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" 
; \
        /usr/local/bin/scrollkeeper-rebuilddb -q -p 
/usr/local/var/lib/scrollkeeper
Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such 
file or directory
Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such 
file or directory
Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such 
file or directory
Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such

Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such

file or directory
Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such 
file or directory
...
<<<

It just does that forever.  Apparently something isn't turning ${prefix} 
into whatever it's supposed to be.  I searched a little and found a 
thread referencing this problem, and someone said they were fixing this 
and would put the updated tarballs online.  But the scrollkeeper website 
has 0.3.12 as the latest version, and that's the same version I'm using, 
which I downloaded from the Gnome site.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks again,
Anthony
