Fine: I did sudo make frameworkinstall, which executes without error.

Same privileges complaint; same solution.
Everything in the /Applications folder should be writable by anyone in the admin group, so your configuration is to blame here, not the instructions. Some package you installed probably had bad permissions... This should work for most systems.
If you open up Disk Utility, there is a button that will repair permissions on a volume. With correct permissions, these steps should've succeeded. Given this error, you should probably do it.
I know this is somewhat off-topic, but I ran repair permissions using Disk Utility, and then manually went in and did chmod on both Contents and Info.plist so that both owner (root) and group (wheel) could rwx and rw the folder and file, respectively.
I still get the permission error shown above. Weird, huh?
Change you PATH:
>emacs ~/.bashrc
Add:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH
OK. Then I do:
python Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>
You also need to set the PATH from the shell prompt, or start a new terminal window. Editing .bashrc doesn't do anything to a currently running bash process.
Works now, but only after having run the two latter makes as root. I hope that won't cause problems.
Thanks for your help.
