I downloaded a souce package that I need to modify, build and install. The owner and group were preserved on the source files so that means when I try to do some operations I see, for example:
moseley@bumby:~/libdvdread2-0.9.3/dvdread$ touch dvd_reader.c touch: creating `dvd_reader.c': Permission denied moseley@bumby:~/libdvdread2-0.9.3/dvdread$ ls -l !$ ls -l dvd_reader.c -rw-rw-r-- 1 6581 30099 26332 May 19 2002 dvd_reader.c I think this is a basic unix permissions confusion on my part. $ chown moseley ~/libdvdread2-0.9.3 chown: changing ownership of `/home/moseley/libdvdread2-0.9.3': Operation not permitted Did I miss a step in downloading the source package? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
