What is the standard installation directory for Linux applications?

I package a compiler which ships with an installation script with a default
installation directory of /usr/local. I've been told that this is not
appropriate, but rather /opt is. (www.pathname.com/fhs) However, the Linux
Directory Tree in O'Reilly's 'Learning Linux' doesn't even list the /opt
directory. Thanks.
