That should work just fine. The --prefix is unnecessary here as /usr/local is the default prefix. One minor nit is that I tend avoid to install anything in /usr/local because /usr/local is on the default search path of the compiler, which means you can accidently pick up other libraries than you expect if you install stuff in /usr/local.
