I also have some scripts that he could try. There are currently two
versions:

http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~ryao/prefix-install.sh
http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~ryao/prefix-install-latest.sh

The former uses the current snapshot while the the latter uses
latest_tree. There are some bugs in the prefix tree that keep them from
running to completion on all systems, although I know prefix-install.sh
will run to completion on Mac OS X 10.6 and both scripts should run to
completion on Linux. The latter is necessary for Mac OS X 10.7 and also
linux-ppc64.

Documentation is in some comments at the top of the scripts.
