The part '--prefix=/usr/bin/samtools/to/cufflinks/install' does not look correct - take a look at the set-up tutorial here: http://cole-trapnell-lab.github.io/cufflinks/getting_started/#building-cufflinks

Note that you can also download the pre-compiled binary executables using this direct link: http://cole-trapnell-lab.github.io/cufflinks/assets/downloads/cufflinks-2.2.1.Linux_x86_64.tar.gz (SOURCE PAGE)

Before you then execute the cufflinks binary executable, add your copy of SAMtools to your path environmental variable, as follows: PATH=/Programs/samtools-1.3.1:$PATH
