configuring with --prefix

[Lisandro Dalcin]

I got this error at configuration time:

You do not have write access to create install directory given with
--prefix=/usr/local/petsc/dev/linux-gnu perhaps use --with-sudo=sudo
also

Then I've added, the sudo stuff and worked. However, after the
configuation, the dir was not created. So the question is: in which
scenario PETSc does need access to the install dir at configuration
time?
