Well, why are you configuring the prefix to be inside your build tree?
This is an odd thing to do. The prefix should be set to where you
expect to install the files, not where you're building them.

CONFIGURE = '--prefix=/home/<build-path>/build/Linux/qe_x86_64'
'--without-readline' '--without-zlib'
