Apparently, copying "zope/component/tests/__init__.py" to "<myhomedirectory>/>Zope-2.8.4-final/build-base/python-2.4/build- lib/zope/component/tests/__init__.py" fails.
Well no, actually - the file gets copied! i checked. But make stops at that point.
Obviously I've substituted <myhomedirectory> for the actual path. This error is what I get if I run make as root - if I run as a user, I get "Permission denied".
Is "<myhomedirectory>" an NFS mount? Then, there are probably special restrictions for "root" use.
No, it's local.
Does the (non root) user have write permissions on "<myhomedirectory>"?
yes, it's that user's own directory. I chown'ed everything in it to make sure the user was the owner, and got similar results (on a different file name, but same scenario).
