you must use

cp LIME_SRC/soapySDR/name "CMakeLists.txt" LIME_SRC/soapySDR/mybuild

or

cp ~/LIME_SRC/soapySDR/name "CMakeLists.txt" ~/LIME_SRC/soapySDR/mybuild

instead of

cp /LIME_SRC/soapySDR/name "CMakeLists.txt" /LIME_SRC/soapySDR/mybuild

because your repertory mybuild is located in /home/alan/LIME_SRC/soapySDR/mybuild and not in /LIME_SRC/soapySDR/mybuild
