Hello, While trying to install HIPL in a Ubuntu 8.10 distribution over VMware player, I faced several problems. I downloaded the nightly tarball and then extracted and ran the ./autogen.sh. Then while trying to find the ./configure file, there was an error and suggestion to install many new packages. After installing all the packages, I can teh autogen again and this time the configure file was found; i ran "./configure && make install" but again the installation ended with the error: /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/libinet6.so.0.0.0': Permission denied make[3]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 I ran using sudo right but still it shows this error. Any help would be appreciated. The documentation is not extensive enough for anyone to start it with. //sumanta
