I believe this problem results from r33804 in which the prefix argument to setup.py install stopped being used to 
rewrite the hardcoded paths in zenmapCore/Paths.py.  After this change, the paths are rewritten with the value of 
sys.prefix instead of self.prefix, which on my machine is /usr instead of /usr/local and as a result I see the same 
error as Tim does.

I suggest that the change was wrong: self.prefix is not a typo, despite the somewhat confusing comment in the lines 
above the changed line.
