The appearance of "/usr/local" here is due to having specified
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.6 and --prefix=/usr/local in the configure
step for building Visual. On Ubuntu there exist
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages and also
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages, and it is the latter folder
where 3rd-party modules like Visual are apparently supposed to be
installed.
