This would be an error.
You should either use the absolute path or use the proper variable.
"$home" is not correct by default and probably should be "$HOME"
It probably should be "./configure" and not "/configure" since the build instructions probably include the configure command in the build directory where you are running the command. Linux commands would not be in the root directory.

Hi! I realised there were a few typos in the command I provided. Yes, it should be "./configure". And the path I provided is actually "...prefix=/home/aaron/new/", which I learnt is the same as "...prefix=$HOME/new/". Thanks.
I proceeded to try to solve this whole headache by running "sudo ./configure --prefix=/home/aaron/new/", and "sudo make linux". It sort of went well, but I can't tell. So I decided to spam "sudo make linux", and it gave an output "make: Nothing to be done for 'linux'". Should this be the desired output for a successful operation?
Here is the logfile.
