following the instructions at Getting started with Zope and Plone in an attempt to install Plone 2.0.5 I get an error when trying to build python 2.3.7: /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/python2.3': Permission denied make: *** [altbininstall] Error 1 I'm assuming I can't install into the /usr directory... Any idea how to work around this? asked 19 Jan '11, 20:02 iotacenter |
Try running it like this,
This tells it to use the default paths for your user. answered 20 Jan '11, 17:29 johns |
Are you running step 7 as outlined here,
By entering, ./configure --prefix=~/webapps/{application} you should override the default path of /usr/ with the build. answered 19 Jan '11, 20:46 johns |
yes-- But perhaps there is something I don't understand here-- when I leave the tilde in, I get the error: "configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix:" if I replace the tilde with the full filepath, the configure seems to work, but then it tries to install in the wrong directory... answered 20 Jan '11, 14:04 iotacenter ah! apparently the configure works if there's a space put in: ./configure --prefix= ~/webapps/{application} However, I still get the same error when trying to make an install: cannot create regular file `/bin/python2.3': Permission denied make: *** [altbininstall] Error 1
