Since you installed in a non-standard location, you probably need to adjust 
paths in the config files. 

What I would recommend is not to build and install by hand, but to use their 
package manager to build a new package with listening enabled. The ./configure 
script takes a --disable-listener parameter. So, its probably as simple as 
deleting that in the source package and rebuilding.

That said, I have no idea how to build a package on Debian or Ubuntu.
