I'd say that the application is wrong:

did you've updated the /etc/init.d script? Maybe it points to Debian's 
build still. Maybe you have some setting in your config you copied from 
Debian's build?

Otherwise: does your config.log indicates that you have set a prefix or 
"dir"?

I use ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/....

and everything is down there.
