Simple installation question:: Please help!!!

[dwinn 0]

Hi. I'm sure this is an easy problem for experienced linux users and your help is MOST appreciated. I have configured a program called CLHEP and all tests pass. However my next directive is to type "make install," and here the problem arises. For some reason there is a permission issue on my computer. Can anyone please solve this problem????? The following is direct text of where the problem begins.

 

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/StdHep/include'

for dir in config Utilities Evaluator GenericFunctions Matrix Vector Random RandomObjects Geometry Units HepPDT HepMC HepMC/include StdHep StdHep/include ; do cd $dir ; make install prefix="/usr/local" MKDIR="mkdir -p" ; cd /home/winn/CLHEP ; done

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/config'

test -d /usr/local/include/CLHEP/config || mkdir -p /usr/local/include/CLHEP/config

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/CLHEP': Permission denied

make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/config'

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/Utilities'

test -d /usr/local/include/CLHEP/Utilities || mkdir -p /usr/local/include/CLHEP/Utilities

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/CLHEP': Permission denied

make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/Utilities'

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/Evaluator'

test -d /usr/local/include/CLHEP/Evaluator || mkdir -p /usr/local/include/CLHEP/Evaluator

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/CLHEP': Permission denied

make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/Evaluator'

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/GenericFunctions'

test -d /usr/local/include/CLHEP/GenericFunctions || mkdir -p /usr/local/include/CLHEP/GenericFunctions

You need to be root to do #make install.

Its ok to be user for $./configure && make

but You must be root for #make install

type $su
