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.
