I cant seem to delete the hpijs folder even if it is empty. Could this be 
because of the ./configure --prefix=/usr command i did? If it is how can i 
undo it?


This is the thing that comes out:

"/home/ccyao/.T.../apollo21xx.Po" cannot be deleted because you do not have 
permissions to modify its parent folder.

I already emptied the folder but it still persists.
