So let's see what INSTALL has to say about them:
`--with-lispdir=/DIR'
This Emacs-only option specifies the location of the `site-lisp'
directory within `load-path' under which the files will get
installed (the bulk will get installed in a subdirectory).
`./configure' should figure this out by itself.
`--with-auctexstartfile=`auctex.el''
`--with-previewstartfile=`preview-latex.el''
This is the name of the respective startup files. If LISPDIR
contains a subdirectory `site-start.d', the start files are placed
there, and `site-start.el' should load them automatically. Please
be aware that you must not move the start files after installation
since other files are found _relative_ to them.
`--with-packagelispdir=`auctex''
This is the directory where the bulk of the package gets located.
The startfile adds this into LOAD-PATH.
So you need to have lispdir in your load-path. *That's* *all*. The
"start files" (which have sensible default names) will be put there.
You *load* them in your .emacs file or similar, and *they* are
responsible for putting up load paths and autoloads for the files that
are, by and large, placed into packagelispdir which defaults to being
the subdirectory "auctex" in your lispdir.
