No, not the compiler path. The directory below which FPC is installed.

That's because you specified the "make" target to your make command... :-)

Try this (as separate commands):
sudo make clean
sudo make all
sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local/

You can try to combine it with

sudo make clean all install  PREFIX=/usr/local/

But I never do that.

In general, I never compile as root, so I tend to do:

make clean
make all
sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local/

But once you started as root, you must at least also run make clean as root,
once.
