First my system:
RH7.1 almost with no changes (I do not believe the small
changes I made make any difference to the bugs submitted
and I did not replace any basic packages).

The problem:

When trying to install in unusual place via "./configure
--prefix" the sgmltools.in file which gets transformed to
sgmltools is not correct since the substitution of the
"@datadir@" does not work and gets substituted for
"${prefix}". This is probably an autoconf problem

    I looked at the problem and the intention was probably to use
    the "@pydatadir@" instead of "@datadir@". it could be, that other
    files like Makefile.in need to changed or, as an alternative, fix
    @datadir@ to be the variable that holds the correct value in
    configure.in.
