Hmm, expanded_datadir and friends are empty.
I guess (emphasis on guess) that these lines in ./configure
do not yield the expected results.

expanded_libdir="`eval \"exec_prefix=\\\"${tmp_exec_prefix}\\\";echo
${libdir}\"`"
expanded_libexecdir="`eval
\"exec_prefix=\\\"${tmp_exec_prefix}\\\";echo ${libexecdir}\"`"
expanded_datadir="`eval
\"prefix=\\\"${tmp_prefix}\\\";datarootdir=\\\"${datarootdir}\\\";echo
${datadir}\"`"
expanded_infodir="`eval
\"prefix=\\\"${tmp_prefix}\\\";datarootdir=\\\"${datarootdir}\\\";echo
${infodir}\"`"

The generated configure script has #!/bin/sh at the top --
I see that on my system, /bin/sh is a symbolic link to /bin/dash
(something I didn't know, I would have expected it to link to
/bin/bash). Does /bin/sh link to something else on your
system? If not, what variety of sh is it?

The directories can be assigned via --libdir, etc, on the
./configure command line, if we can't figure out why
the directories are not being assigned automatically.

best,
