Unfortunately, rem2pdf uses Perl's build infrastructure which does not
cooperate very well with autoconf.  I think you can do this:

INSTALL_BASE=/opt/remind; export INSTALL_BASE
./configure --prefix=/opt/remind && make -j && sudo make install

to get it to work, but rem2pdf itself is unlikely to find the
Perl libaries and work; it will need to be edited to do something
like:

use lib '/opt/remind/lib/perl5';

or something like that.
