So, do you have the target 
file "/KM/usr/ziegler/ExGen/cmake/build/src/CMakeFiles/CMakeRelink.dir/startCompletionServer" ? 
If yes do you have write privileges in /usr/local/bin so you can 
write/install files there?

From your prompt ($, denoting an unprivileged normal user) it seems to be the 
later problem.
