This error is not an indication of a failed build, but simple a failure to copy the binaries to root-owned paths on a node. Many users may recognize this as a sudo-solvable problem, but in HPC environments, that is not the case.
sudo access
Sudo sudo access is reserved explicitly for Research Computing admins. If a software installation attempts Please note, if you are installing software and you get permission errors trying to install to a local directory and fails, the answer is not to request more permission to be able : stop. Using sudo to overcome permissions issues would allow you to install to a local directory but instead to redirect the installation to a shared storage space, like your HOME directory.

on a specific node--however, software is not designed to be installed in local directories in HPC environments, as none of these files will be available on your next job allocation, where you are likely to be placed on another node altogether.

sudo is inappropriate for software installations in HPC environments in 100% of cases. Instead, install software to shared filesystems (filesystems that every node in the supercomputer can reach). Such locations include your $HOME directory, your group shared space, or possibly and $SCRATCH filesystems. |
