OK in fact I had never used STGZ before (only TGZ and TBZ2)
STGZ seems to default to current working directory as a prefix
OR you_NEED_ to specify the prefix when you invoke the script:

cd /go/to/STGZ_dir
./youFavoriteSoftware-Linux-x86_64.sh --prefix=/usr/local

that is the prefix does not seem to be embedded inside the archive
__ but again I'm no STGZ expert __ and don't know how it is supposed
to work.

./youFavoriteSoftware-Linux-x86_64.sh --help
will give you informations.
