I would set the prefix to location/of/opensrs/lib
I would also ignore the error about CryptCBC, as it is included with the
OpenSRS client code, and Blowfish will install normally anyway.
The reason your installation bombed is because it appears you are trying to
create directories on your virtual server that you do not have permission to
install on.
