Do you know of any reason for this?
What do you mean by a permission error? Please include a copy of the error text that you are talking about. I tried running 'strace dmake' in my build directory, and it produced lots of output and seemed to be running as normal. openoffice.org-1.1.2$ . ./LinuxIntelEnv.Set.sh openoffice.org-1.1.2$ strace dmake execve("/usr/bin/dmake", ["dmake"], [/* 215 vars */]) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="shawn", ...}) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8060000 [etc..] Chris
