[Dovecot] Install from source of dovecot 1.1.2

Hi guys,

I have what I'm sure is a stupid question. I'm trying to install
Dovecot 1.1.2 from source and my command sequence is this:
cd dovecot-1.1.2
./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --with-mysql
--with-storagesmaildir --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot
make
make install
cd ../dovecot-sieve-1.1.5
./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-1.1.2
make
make install

I don't get any errors during either install

I've done the odd config on dovecot to try and keep it as close to the
install dirs used by the Dovecot package included with Ubuntu.
Once it's done, dovecot -n still looks in /usr/local/etc and when I
try and start dovecot it looks for the libexec dir in /usr/local
instead of /usr.
Is there something I'm missing on the configure?

I've very, very little experience (rather obviously) installing
directly from source so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Guy
