Make sure you change directories to the location of the postgresql
source, for example
cd ~/home/postgresql-8.0.0beta4
Now type ./configure
I'm not sure if you really typed what you have there after --prefix.
But I believe /usr/local/pgsql is normally the default path, so you
don't need to include the prefix parameter. If you really want to
install in a different place, the command is like this:
./configure --prefix=/place/to/install
