I believe the default configuration of "make install" will install in /usr/local. If you have files in /etc (instead of /usr/local/etc), then It sounds like there is a system-installed couchdb package.
One way to test is to run "make dev" and then you can launch CouchDB from the source tree without installing by running "./utils/run". Make sure any system-wide couchdb is stopped. The configuration files will be in "etc/couchdb" in the source tree after building.
