For sure you're right. I've mixed it up with --with-lisp-dir.

Nope. If you say explicitely --infodir=DIR, it goes into DIR and no
other subdirectory. In your case, you would need
--infodir=/usr/share/info - but that's the default already if you have
--prefix=/usr/share. So I assume just saying

# ./configure --with-contrib --prefix=/usr/share

would be sufficient, as you've proposed in your first message.

Best regards, Michael.
