make 	\
  prefix=%{buildroot}%{_prefix} \
  bindir=%{buildroot}%{_bindir}	\
  libdir=%{buildroot}%{_libdir} \
  mandir=%{buildroot}%{_mandir} \
  dlldir=%{buildroot}%{_libdir}/%{name} \
  includedir=%{buildroot}/%{_includedir}/%{name} \
  datadir=%{buildroot}/%{_datadir} \
  LDCONFIG=/bin/true \
  install

just notice that I build as a non-root user.
%{...} are macros expanded to path names.

just setting the prefix in the make install won't work.

I hope that this is :)
