err, if you get the stuff from a tarball then it wont set things
up for your chosen distro by magic - thats what distro package maintainers
do and why the RPM/DEB etc is needed for proper support.

if you want the required init script you can hope that its in the
tarball somewhere as a contrib... or you can install the package
from the distro, copy the init script, remove the package then put the
init script into place edited correctly for the paths that you've chosen
to use.

i can tell you this - the default RH/centos init script does not use 
the default PATHs that you'll be using with that configure line! :-)
