Bug 279544: Unable to install lang/python27 on 14/14.1 RELEASE
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=279544



--- Description ---
I am struggling for over 1 month now trying to install lang/python27. FWIW, the
compile completes successfully. The problem comes when I do `make install`as
shown below.
For some strange reason something probably strips out 'usr/local/' from a path,
leading to the files to be installed not being found.
I have to mention that some users on questions@freebsd.org told me that they do
not have the same problem so I am wondering if the problem is caused by
something I messed up on my server.

I am asking myself why it is that usr/local is not showing in the path here -
leading to the "No such file or directory" error and how I can fix that.

Thank you.
