[Trilinos-Users] error with 'make install' for Teuchos with PyTrilinos

[Bill Spotz]

Your error is because the PyTrilinos installer is trying to write to / 
usr and you do not have permission.  The reason it is trying to write  
to /usr is because PyTrilinos has a hybrid build system: make turns  
over control to a python script that uses the distutils module.  You  
are specifying your install directory in a way I do not anticipate,  
so it doesn't get passed to the script.

If you configure with --prefix=..., the PyTrilinos build system  
should be able to figure out where to install its modules.  I'm a  
little surprised that it is trying to install in /usr and not /usr/ 
local.  Are you currently setting --prefix?
