./configure invalid option "-user=nginx"

Question

I am a complete newbie to centos and I am trying to install nginx with the rtmp module following the tutorial here: http://www.notehub.org/2014/1/21/compiling-nginxnginx-rtmp-module-on-cent

Everything works fine till I try to run the ./configure command where i get the following error: ./configure: error: invalid option "-user=nginx"

Please tell me what I am doing wrong and how do I do it properly?

The issue is that his blog auto-changed -- to a long dash –. if you search and replace that long-dash with two -- then it configures just fine.
