It seems like the error might be related to the download/extract step. I think
the fact that you are using the same dir for PREFIX, SOURCE_DIR and
DOWNLOAD_DIR might be confusing things. I would try commenting out those three
properties and see if it makes any difference, and then you can fine-tune those
properties as needed once you get it working (maybe but just setting PREFIX).
