Nope, you're not insane, atleast, I've had the exact same problem.. I sent
a coment to the afterstep-dev list a few days ago that maybe ./configure
--prefix=<blah> should actually work to install afterstep under hierachy
<blah> but nobody responded to it... seems silly to me to leave the
default confgure --help messages in there saying something will work, when
in reality it doesn't...
