Re: Install without root priviledge

OKay thanks for that I got it to work.
Dropping the full path name did the trick, that is
python setup.py install --prefix INSTDIR
where INSTDIR is an immediately local directory.

I tested again to make sure and if you specify a full path
name it refuses to work

Anyway I'm happy now.   Thanx
