changing pathnames

Hi everyone,
I am new to AfterStep and I am sure this has been asked 1001 times:
How do I change the place where AfterStep (any version) will be installed?
(I could not find anything on this topic using dejanews, were do I find the
archives of this mailing list?)
I am trying to compile AfterStep fro Solaris 2.6 and 2.5.1, Sparc and x86,
using the stock Solaris imake that comes with the system and SparcWorkshop
Compilers (C 4.2) on Sparc and gcc 2.8.1 on x86.
I have tried to change the paths during the "configure" run but to no avail.
After compilation AfterStep always defaults to /usr/local. After checking
1.5 pre5 I noticed, that it's also being hardcoded into some modules:
AfterStep as such runs, but it does not look for e.g. the wharf module
somewhere in the PATH but in /usr/local/bin. I tried copy the files manually
to the places I want them, but encountered the above problem. I tend to
recreate the Makefiles numerous times by editing the Imakefile and rerunning
xmkmf; make Makefiles. Could this be the reason that the changed paths are
"forgotten"?
Maybe I am just being stupid and need someone to tell me a) that I am stupid
and b) how it's done :-) If more information is necessary let me know.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Stephan
