Nothing is installed into /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
There was previously a "meld" folder there. I removed it and
reinstalled and no meld folder appeared.

There is a meld folder installed into /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages.

The output of the install also says:
running install_egg_info
Removing /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld-3.11.1-py2.7.egg-info
Writing /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld-3.11.1-py2.7.egg-info

But your email suggests to me that dist-packages is the correct place. Right?

I just tried again but with --prefix '/usr/local' and now it is
installed into /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, which is what
you seem to expect.

Is the correct --prefix then '/usr' or '/usr/local' ?

Thanks for the help,
