Thanks a lot for the reply. Even though I was giving the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to a local directory, somehow it defaulting to usr/local. So, I used DESTDIR while 'make install' to specify the destination directory. This worked and I am also able to run the tutorial programs.
I used the following command: make DESTDIR=/home/sunder/deal.II-8.0 install On 27 November 2017 at 22:39, Wolfgang Bangerth <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/27/2017 10:03 AM, Sunder Dasika wrote: > >> >> file cannot create directory: /usr/local/common/scripts.
