you don't have to change those settings
OUTPATH is the path where the binaries are built
FLEXTPREFIX is where the built binaries (and headers) are installed to - in the default case to /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include/flext

your errors below might arise from the fact that you have to install as superuser:
> bash build.sh pd gcc install
might not work.
Instead try
sudo bash build.sh pd gcc install
