You need to give dsss a place to install your program.

$ dsss --prefix=<prefix> build

I would suggest installing dsss to the system, do this from within the 
where you have dsss. Then you won't have to include prefix every time 
(though doing the above may only need to be done once)

# ./dsss --prefix=/usr/local install

Also when you do builds without root privilege you will get a message:

Can't write to /usr/local using ~/d

Just ignore it.
