Re: permission denied.....


I am logged in as a user that's been given 'Administrator' privileges.

But like I say, I can walk back into the directory and type 'make' and it
builds fine. Sometimes the build will complete normally too. It only happens
occasionally - so I don't believe there's anything wrong with permissions
at all.

It's always cpp0.exe though. I suspect it could be a bogus return value, or
test case in this program. I guess I'll have to grab to source to check it
out though.

Alan.
