No, you _shouldn't_ be editting Makefile.in, you should be running the
configure script which will do all that stuff for you...

E.g.:

   ./configure

or:

   ./configure --prefix=$HOME

to install everything underneath your home directory.

The configure script will derive all those various specific variables
using the prefix you give it.
