OK, good that it worked. But I don't normally do the build and test as root,
just use sudo for the install at the end.

Switching the permissions would work, but the best solution to not to
run the tests as root in the first place. If you do the build and test as
a normal user, all the temp test files will have normal user permissions.

[Normally there shouldn't be any left over temp files from the tests,
so I guess a test failed or was interupted before it could clean up]
