Well that's why you specify --prefix when configuring. Look into what
it does! :)

One easy way to discover what it does is to run the following as a
normal user (not root):

mkdir /tmp/test && \
  cd /tmp/test && \
  git clone git://git.libusb.org/libusb.git && \
  cd libusb && \
  ./autogen.sh --prefix=/tmp/test/inst && \
  make install && \
  ls -lR /tmp/test/inst
