Make some times has to be runa s root.
Also you can only instal source code with a HD install.
(the --prefix=/usr isn't usually nessisary as most programs isntall their anyway.)

it's
./configure
and
./configure --help | less in most cases.
make normally doesn't need root to be involved, only make install
beside ./configure --help, you often get a README and a INSTALL file to read for details of the installation-process.
