it's usually --prefix=

try:

./configure --help

PS: deleted your crosspost in "technical" and moved this from installation to software. the installation forum is for linux installs not software. please do not crosspost - per the posting guidelines.

Reading the INSTALL and README text files included with the package will always explain how to specify a installation path.

The JL Help File on Compiling Software will also explain the same.
