Ah - you're using the avifile.spec file to build it.
I never had a look at it before ;-)

I *think* that editing the spec file and doing
%define prefix /opt/wherever
should work.
The point is - if you're building a rpm, the rpm build process does the whole
compiling/installing/etc by itself, depending on the values in that spec
file.
So you have to edit the spec file an run
rpm --rebuild avifile.spec (or so)
And all changes you wanna have for your special rpm (paths, compiling options
etc) have to be set in the spec file
Try it, and tell us if it works ;-)
