I should have been more clear: when doing a "make" it should not be touching anything like /usr/lib/ or /lib. It is ok if 'make install' puts stuff in /usr/lib or /lib and other places (and that part must be done as root). It looks like the Makefile uses a prefix to a local directory. 'slibdir' is not using "/Views/redhat-cluster/cluster/build" prefix that 'libdir' above did (see the install -d line above the one that failed), so it does not build without being root. That is the build problem. Mere mortals should be able to build :) Daniel
