I followed Apple instructions for Terminal and permissions. After following the prompts, the first entry under permissions was drwxr-xr-t 13 root wheel. The instructions said it should be drwxrwxrwt; root wheel. Not sure what to do now.

if you are using some kind of security profile on a business machine, it seems to mess up the file permissions in the /tmp/ directory.
use the following command after logging into TERMINAL.
sudo chmod 1777 /tmp/

Thank you! That got me the correct entry. I'll reboot and try to install again.
