When you run ppremake within the dtool directory, it will generate a

Unix users should note that you must have write permission to the
site-packages directory. You may run these steps as root to avoid
this problem. If you have difficulty running genPyCode as root, make
sure that you still have LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined appropriately once
you have become root. Alternatively, instead of running genPyCode as
root, you may simply create the directory site-packages/pandac as
root, and then give yourself write permission to this directory (this
is all that genPyCode requires).
You may also need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Unix) or PATH (on
Windows) to reference this new directory instead of $INSTALL_DIR/lib,
