[lsst-dm-stack-users] permission denied questions while installing Winter2014

[Heather Kelly]

Hi,
First some disclosures: I'm installing on AFS on RHEL6-64 at SLAC.
Ultimately I did this:
|eups distrib ||install| |-t v9_2 lsst_distrib

which ended in error:

             rm -f

I have seen a similar error in the past, but I have gotten around it by
installing a binary distribution:
https://listserv.lsstcorp.org/mailman/private/lsst-dm-stack-users/2013-May/81.html
Digging a little more.. I suspect this is just due to the permissions on
my own account at SLAC and I am inquiring about creating a special
lsst-sw user instead... though I'm not certain the admins will be
thrilled to allow setgid. Is there anything I can offer to help make the
case to them?
And while I'm waiting.. can I just use 755? and where in the
installation scripts do I change it to avoid 2755?

Take care,
Heather
