What did you find confusing or misleading in INSTALL? It says
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure'
the option `--prefix=PATH'.
It also suggests running `configure --help', which contains
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local]
I read both as saying that '--prefix' specifies the directory above
bin.
