Have you tried touching these files to make them "exist" to see if
anything more can be gleaned from the install errors. Sometimes I have
had success with this method.

If it is only wanting to see if the files exist then you might get
somewhere but the following line about "byte compiling files" suggests
that it may want to actually use the files at those locations, so you
may or may not have some success using this method.
