well, I'm guessing you just got the tarball (the tar.gz file) and 
extracted its contents somewhere (say, /tmp/foo). I bet that you'll see 
a src directory under /tmp/foo and that the "src" directory the readme 
is referring to is precisely that one, and not /usr/src. Try running 
./configure from /tmp/foo/src and see what happens.
