You ran the build command as root? You shouldn't experience any "Permission denied" errors as root :).

Still, running as root should've caused that dir to be owned by root. "find / -user 1000" should turn up that directory. What's it look like in that dir and in the debian dir? ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # "... the social skills of a cow on acid." - der.hans
