sudo make install

When I run sudo make install I get the error
/bin/sh: 1: cd: can't cd to
/home/michael.obrien/setups/OpenCV/opencv-2.4.13/build
make[2]: *** [3rdparty/libtiff/CMakeFiles/libtiff.dir/depend] Error 2
make[1]: *** [3rdparty/libtiff/CMakeFiles/libtiff.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

If I run the command make install the build will complete but I get an
error "CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE): file cannot create
directory /usr/local/include/opencv2. Maybe need administrative privileges

So I'm confused as to how I can resolve this if sudo can't cd to the
folder but I need su(do) to create the directories

Any pointers on how to solve this would be very welcome.

Can you do this:

  sudo -s
  cd /home/michael.obrien/setups/OpenCV/opencv-2.4.13/build

That will check that root has permission to cd there. One thought for why this might fail: is your homedir on NFS with root_squash enabled? That might prevent root access. What are the permissions on this directory, and its parents?
