Heh, don't thank *me*. I didn't help. I just corrected a small mistake.  :-)

But why not --prefix=/usr/local/FlightGear/? Because the prefix is the base
installation address. That would mean that libraries would be installed in
/usr/local/FlightGear/lib/, executables in /usr/local/FlightGear/bin/,
manpages in /usr/local/FlightGear/man etc. You'd have to add all these
paths to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or /etc/ld-so.conf), PATH, MANPATH, etc. which
is a lot of extra work for no good reason.

Hence:
  --prefix=/usr/local             for openal, plib, simgear, fgfs
  /usr/local/share/FlightGear/    for installing the base data
