llvm installation failure

I am trying to make and install a version of llvm that I check out of cvs last night. When I configured LLVM, I set the prefix to a directory inside my home directory. However, when I did a make install I got the following errors:

llvm[3]: Installing Debug Bytecode Archive /lib/libc.a
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/lib/libc.a': Permission denied
make[3]: *** [/lib/libc.a] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/performA/users/lefever/testbed-work/llvm-cvs-070325/runtime/GCCLibraries/libc'
make[2]: *** [libc/.makeinstall] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/performA/users/lefever/testbed-work/llvm-cvs-070325/runtime/GCCLibraries'
make[1]: *** [GCCLibraries/.makeinstall] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/performA/users/lefever/testbed-work/llvm-cvs-070325/runtime'
make: *** [install] Error 1

It appears to be that lvm is trying to install something into /lib which is not the prefix that I set. Does anyone know the problem? Is there something wrong with one of the makefiles?

Thanks,
Ryan

I was able to fix the problem by re-configuring, re-making, and reinstalling llvm. I must have made a typo somewhere. It was weird because everything else installed to the prefix directory, but libc.a tried to install to /lib.
