The problem is, WE configure gets the data directory from the adonthell
executable by running 'adonthell -d'. So even if you would change WE
configure, adonthell itself wouldn't have the proper path to the data
compiled in.

To fix the path that get's compiled into adonthell, please try the
following:

configure --prefix=/sw --datadir=/sw/share --enable-py-debug

Once you are recompiling, have a look how DATADIR is defined. If it is
/sw/share/adonthell then you are fine. Otherwise you'll have to edit
src/Makefile and set the DATADIR yourself. Once recompiled, check with
'adonthell -d' that the data directory is still correct.

Then you can reconfigure WE. If adonthell contains the proper data
directory, WE should configure and install fine.
