 The --datadir shouldn't be necessary. Check this code in Makefile.in...

 mandir = $(shell if [ @mandir@ = $(prefix)/man ]; then if [ $(prefix) = /
 ]; then echo /usr/share/man; else echo $(prefix)/share/man; fi; else echo
 @mandir@; fi)

 So, if it sees "--prefix=/" then it should set mandir=/usr/share/man.

 In fact I know it does because I also have "--prefix=/ --enable-zlib" and
 no other configure options, and my manpages are in fact in /usr/share/man.

 Although I do only have an x86 system so there could be some issue with
 64-bit systems that I don't know about...
