Hi: I thought I could download gimp-1.2.1 .tar.gz and install, but it wasn't to be. When I got to the command, make install this came up: Making install in tools make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tompoe/gimp-1.2.1/tools' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tompoe/gimp-1.2.1/tools' make[3]: Entering directory `/home/tompoe/gimp-1.2.1/tools' /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/ginstall -c gimp-remote /usr/local/bin/gimp-remote /usr/bin/ginstall -c gimp-remote /usr/local/bin/gimp-remote /usr/bin/ginstall: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/gimp-remote': Permission denied make[3]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
Anyone want to point me to where the explanation is? Or, is this strictly a Gimp kinda question re: gimp-remote? Thanks, Tom
Sounds like your NOT root. You should su to root before make install.. -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
