Static linking: installation of snmpd and net-snmp libraries

Hi,

I am running net-snmp-5.2.3 on AIX-5.3. I succeeded to configure,
compile and installed the agent. But now I would like to create a tar
archive, to be able to install the agent wherever I had like. For this
purpose I configured the agent not to use shared libraries and I enabled
static libraries:

./configure --with-cc=xlc_r --disable-shared --enable-static
-with-default-snmp-version=3 --with-sys-contact=operator
--with-sys-location=ROOM101 -with-logfile=log/snmpd.log
--with-persistent-directory=data

1) My first question: I would like to choose at installation time the
location of the log file as well as the persistent directory, is it
possible????

Then I type

make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/NET_SNMP_HOME prefix=/some/where/else/
exec_prefix=/some/where/else 

That is I obtain this direcoty structure:

/tmp/NET_SNMP_HOME/some/where/else/[bin][include][lib][man][sbin][share]

Then I create my archive and uncompress it, so has to obtain this:

/some/where/else/[bin][include][lib][man][sbin][share]

But then I cannot start the agent (sbin/snmpd). If I give the same
prefix to configure (--prefix=/some/where/else e.g.) then it is working.
But if I change it at installation time, it hangs!
 
2) My second question: I configured the agent to link statically so I
don't understand why it needs to be installed in a particular directory
specified at configuration time. Is there any way to break this
dependency?
