I just checked. If you say 

./Install.sh --prefix=$HOME

then it will try to install in 
/home/nick/bin
and
/home/nick/lib/Bashburn/lib
not 
/home/nick/bashburn/lib/Bashburn/lib




The problem is that it tries to set ownership to root which is not 
allowed. I just fixed that too so it only runs chown if you're root.
