All installs should be placed relative to ${D}. See one of the many other recipes that define do_install for examples :)

So install something along the lines:

do_install(){
       python configure.py --prefix=${libdir}/botan
}

When I do that, I get a permission denied error:
mkdir: cannot create directory /usr/lib/botan

Sorry I am still significantly new to open embedded and bitbake.

Thanks,

/usr/botan isn't a path that'll be placed into the sysroot, which is the standard mechanism by which files from dependencies are accessed (e.g. headers, shared libraries, native scripts). You should install to more standard system locations.

Hello Richard,

I did try the DEPENDS variable before but still doesnt solve the problem.
A configure script in recipe B has to run a program that is built under ${D}/usr/botan by recipe A. 
Even if i pass the path to the configure script, it is unable to find the script. ./configure --with-botan=............./usr/botan
Thanks.
