hi, it looks like you tried to install the package as an ordinary user. the following output is produced by the command: make install this is usually possible if you are logged in as root. to achieve this after running the command: make change to user root by typing: su after which you will be prompted for root's password. then do: make install
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin /usr/bin/install -c pospell /usr/local/bin/pospell /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/pospell': Permission denied /usr/bin/install -c newsbody /usr/local/bin/newsbody /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/newsbody': Permission denied make[2]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/brian/Downloads/Mutt/spellutils-0.7' make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/brian/Downloads/Mutt/spellutils-0.7' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
What happened and how do I fix this?
i hope that this helps.
