Hi, When you launch a command as sudo, your personnal environment is not transmitted. So give all rights to blk-desktop in your gate directory, then launch the compilation as 'you' (without sudo), and once the compilation is successful you can give back all rights to root.

Stop. I have tried using just make, without sudo, but then I'm getting no permission errors. I have seen this problem posted before but no answers. Only one answer was about setting a date two years back, but that did not help. Any hints ?</td></tr></tbody></table> _______________________________________________ Gate-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Gate-users@lists.healthgrid.org">Gate-users@lists.healthgrid.org</a> <a href="http://lists.healthgrid.org/mailman/listinfo/gate-users" target="_blank">http://lists.healthgrid.org/mailman/listinfo/gate-users</a> </blockquote></div>
