--prefix=/usr/local/nagios would install all files in: /usr/local/nagios/ . (i.e /usr/local/nagios/bin ,/usr/local/nagios/etc [....] In other words, it would put the whole nagios install under /usr/local/nagios, the "default" location if you do not specify an alternate prefix. Personally, if I were you, I would _not_ rebuild it in a non-standard way like you mention above unless you have very good reason to do so - Yes, there may be more work involved, but the end result will be worth it. (The guy who takes over your job down the road will also be grateful, and you won't have to hunt over the whole system to find the stuff you need!)
