Hello,

It appears that make install fails (trunk version). My python site-packages directory is in /usr/lib and not in 
/usr/local/lib but I want to install VTK in usr/local

-- Removed runtime path from "/usr/local/bin/pvtkpython"
running cd "/home/pebay/bin/VTK at Debug/Wrapping/Python" && /usr/bin/python2.5 setup.py install --prefix="/usr/local"  2>&1
running install
Checking .pth file support in /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

     [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/test-easy-install-1906.pth'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

     /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/

This directory does not currently exist.  Please create it and try again, or
choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir
option).

-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/vtk-5.7/VTKConfig.cmake
-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/vtk-5.7/VTKConfigVersion.cmake


Has anyone had the same problem?

Thanks,
Philippe
