It seems you have a mixup with stuff in /usr/local and  /usr. The "Show 
stopper" warning will appear when a module cannot be loaded. Make sure you 
do a "make uninstall" for all xffm components with the prefix set to 
/usr/local before setting prefix to /usr and installing. This would avoid 
any mixups.

No. libraries should be installed in $prefix/lib, includes in 
$prefix/include/xffm, plugins in $prefix/lib/xffm/plugins and binaries in 
in $prefix/bin.
