Romain commented it already: running configure/make as root is usually not advisable. Here (in this configure script) it is explicitely forbidden. Now you should pick one of the following approaches: A) remove your liquidsoap build directory (everything you downloaded/extracted) and start again B) run "chown -R YOUR_USER: LIQUIDSOAP_DIRECTORY" as root - this will hand over the ownership of all files and directories below "LIQUIDSOAP_DIRECTORY" (you need to use your local path here) to the user "YOUR_USER" (pick your username here) Now you can continue doing everything with your user account.

The man pages would have helped you: man -k typescript Cheers, Lars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Savonet-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/savonet-users
