Cmake mangles some paths when CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is rooted in either /usr or
/opt, and defaults to /usr/local. The simplest work-around is to set it to
something in $HOME. A little more complicated approach (one that I sometimes
take) is to create a top-level directory and chown it to your userid and use a
subdirectory under that for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
