When trying to build, it stopped early and it came up with some errors.
/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin' /usr/bin/install -c cmusfm '/usr/local/bin' /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/bin/cmusfm': Permission denied Makefile:314: recipe for target 'install-binPROGRAMS' failed make[2]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/nathan/cmusfm/build/src' Makefile:583: recipe for target 'install-am' failed make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/nathan/cmusfm/build/src' Makefile:363: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
To be honest I'm a complete newb to Linux, and I don't know how to fix the problem from the info that is being provided. If anyone here can tell me how to fix the problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

For installation you need root permission. Try something like: sudo make install.

I had cmusfm working on my old laptop and now that i want to use it on another one i get this error.
I do use sudo but it's still the same.

>> sudo make && make install

I guess I just ignored the error and ran cmusfm as a command and it worked! thanks.

Hello/ Thank you for these comments, they helped me to resolve my issue. I had permission denied as well and resolved it with.

sudo make 
sudo make install

I skipped the && and all is good.
I am running Arch Linux.
