This is generally a very bad idea; you should have specified a prefix
within your home directory, and then you wouldn't have to have superuser
rights to install nlopt, e.g.

    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/nlopt

This is the wrong path to include. In the example above it should be
something like $HOME/opt/nlopt/lib/python2.7/site-packages ... You can
be sure that this is the right directory, if it contains the files
"nlopt.py" and "_nlopt.so".
