Tcl extensions have to be installed in the Tcl library directory, in your case, under /usr/local/lib/. So the --prefix option doesn't apply to the Tcl interface, only to the shell, library and include files (the stuff you need for C programming). If you don't care about Tcl, add "--disable-tcl" to the configure line. If you do need it, you'll have to compile Tcl and install it somewhere you have write permission. Then use environment variables (PATH etc.) to make sure configure picks up the right Tcl installation.
