Hi Armin,

Just reporting the error is plenty enough.  The issue is that it's a
CFFI module which gets built (by calling the C compiler) the first
time it is imported.  The library built is saved into some directory
where (after installation) a normal user cannot write.  It's supposed
to be imported once as part of the installation process, to
pregenerate it.  It's what our own installation tool does
(pypy/tool/release/package.py).

(Please excuse ignorance deriving from not having tried to build and install
pypy recently ;)

Is it not currently possible to build and install everything pypy
in user mode, in a user directory, e.g. ~/.pypy/versionstring/...
and chmod selectively to protect against accidental mods/deletes?

Will it not run properly via symlink from a directory in $PATH, or
maybe via an alias defined in ~/.bash_profile?

Regards,
Bengt Richter
