Summary: Error when trying to specify install path

Initial Comment:
I would like to install the latest version to utilize the step-g tool.  I would like to avoid overwriting my current install of 7.12.  When I attempt to use:
./configure --prefix=/some/path/other/than/7.12
I get an error that BRLCAD_ROOT is in conflict with the prefix.
My questions are:
1.  What is the workaround for this error to be able to install in an alternate location?
2.  Is it possible to simply compile the step-g tool wihtout installing the full package?  If so, how do I do that?

Thanks,

David
