Which flag to use in "configure" to Change the Install location?

[Omita]

Long story short... I am installing Python 2.6 on OSX. By default the
Library is installing here:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework

However, as I am using OSX Server I would ideally like the location to
be here:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/

Do I need to use the "--libdir" flag? Or is that referring to "lib"
not "Library"?

Why?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you should be able to simply move the
framework to your desired location.

However, a simple "configure --help" reveals this:

--enable-framework[=INSTALLDIR]

Why do you ask the same question twice, and with different subjects?
This makes answering difficult.

To repeat my answer:

That's a good recipe to ruin your system software.
