           Summary: kopete tries to install to system wide directories
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: fhellmuth@yahoo.de


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I'm running a kdesvn-build user based installation, esp. installing it withot
root privilegs to non-system wide directories. Installing kopete fails with

CMake Error at kopete/protocols/skype/skypebuttons/cmake_install.cmake:41
(FILE):
  file cannot create directory: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.  Maybe need
  administrative privileges.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  kopete/protocols/skype/cmake_install.cmake:74 (INCLUDE)
  kopete/protocols/cmake_install.cmake:42 (INCLUDE)
  kopete/cmake_install.cmake:39 (INCLUDE)
  cmake_install.cmake:39 (INCLUDE)

I think this would be even a bad practice for system wide installations as
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins is not neccessarily the best place to install prefox
plugins. On my Gentoo system this directory does not even exist.
