Okay, I resolved it by running "make clean" in the source directory and
then re-running configure/make/make install. I think what happened was
the first time I compiled it I didn't use the --with-config-file-path
option, then went back and re-compiled with setting
--with-config-file-path=/etc but without running "make clean" first.
