Make doesnt install anything, it just compiles a binary and the libraries. Make Install installs the binary and its libraries to its proper location. Given that you suppllied the configure script with the proper prefix.

From a terminal run 'which konqueror'. The output should be /usr/bin/konqueror. Whatever the output is, that would be your prefix minus the 'konqueror'. So if the output was /usr/bin/konqueror you would configure as ./configure --prefix=/usr/bin
