Thanks. I think I've got it mostly configured now. I do:

make extraclean
./autogen
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make

and have set in my Emacs file before loading auctex:

  (setq TeX-lisp-directory (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/lib/auctex"))
  (setq TeX-data-directory (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/lib/auctex"))

which seems to work for most things. The only two things I can't seem to
get to work is prettify-symbols-mode (displaying \alpha as α), and the
info manual is missing (the `dir` file isn't getting generated). Any
pointers there appreciated!
