My point entirely. If you created the directories, you may have caused a permissions problem.
Normally, I would not expect non-root access acces under /usr/share, except where specific groups and special usernames are concerned.
I.e. except for some webmin files that have group "bin", some phpBB files with owner/group "admin", and some phpGroupware files with owner/group "www-user", I have nothing (bar a couple of image files accidentally still owned by me) that is not root/root.
Actually, getting files under /usr/share that are owned by a normal user is fiddly. In the case of the couple I have in there, it's because I copied them as root.
Unfortunately, the source code doesn't seem to have any hints with it about how the install is supposed to go. I guess I'd need to look on their website for that? It may be simplest to scrap everything under /usr/share/games/pcsx2, run the install again, and install purely under your own home directory (assuming you only one who wants to use it).
Anyway... it's 2:30am, and I'm off to bed.
