[Biopython] Permissions for Bio, BioSQL, Martel

[Finsen Chiu]

I am using RHEL4

I built and installed as root and both went smoothly without interruption.

Running the test as root is fine, but the permission denied errors came 
when running the test as a user.

So, I wonder if I need to give users write permission to those files 
(which I am not wanting to do) or if those errors are negligible.

Thanks,

Finsen
