Check your installation
To check that your installation has all the correct permissions and group ownerships, you should run thecheck_perms
script:
% cd $prefix % bin/check_perms
Don't try to run check_perms from the source
directory; it will only run from the install
(i.e. $prefix) directory.
If this reports no problems, then it's very likely that your
installation is set up correctly :) If it reports
problems, then you can either fix them manually, re-run the
installation, or use check_perms to fix the problems
(probably the easiest solution):
- You need to become the user that did the installation (and that
owns all the files in
$prefix), or root. - Run
bin/check_perms -f - Repeat previous step until no more errors are reported!
