Definitely not. The default prefix is, and has always been, /usr/local.

Have you adjusted PKG_CONFIG_PATH ?

INSTALL has the instructions for building from a tarball. When building
from SVN some extra steps are necessary.

If you have build problems, perhaps it would be a good idea to use the
babl and GEGL release tarballs instead of SVN checkouts.
