The build bots do not have a test to actually try to "install" HDF5 anywhere. 
And if they _do_ happen to have that test, then the test is being run with root 
privs. The issue is that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is over ridden on install with a 
path starting with "/" which means the root level of your hard drive. 99% of OS 
X users do not have privs set to allow this so a test that tried to do the 
default install would fail. Additionally since CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is over 
ridden you have no control over where it is installed.
