I am running into a permissions problem on a SAGE install relocated by
"make install" which was run as root and installed into DESTDIR=/usr/
lib. Below is an example of a permissions problem. It looks like a
writable directory check is failing. Which directory is it? Which
directories need to be writable by everyone when sage is relocated?
