Try creating a symlink in /usr/local/bin/ outside of the install routine .
. . just run something like 'touch foo; ln -sf foo /usr/local/bin/' and see
if you get any error messages then.  You'll want to run this as root as
well.  In addition, check to verify that you do indeed have drive space
available on that partition.
