Try removing the spurious space in your command, giving:
./configure --prefix=/usr
or use the space without "=":
./configure --prefix /usr
Either of these should solve your problem. The way you have it, "="
is being interpreted as the first character of the path name (don't
forget that "=" is legal as a directory name).
