Hi Roger, When I run sudo -s I get bash: /home/myaccount/ : Permission denied but I get a root prompt on the terminal. I get a permission denied when I try to cd into anything deeper than /home/myaccount/
Yes the /home/ is an NFS mount as its common across all the vm's I'm assigned to but there isn't an etc/exports file In /proc/mount the mount details don't mention root_squash just that its nfs rw relatime vers3 Michael ________________________________________ From: CMake <cmake-boun...@cmake.org> on behalf of Roger Leigh <rle...@codelibre.net> Sent: 05 June 2016 21:48 To: cmake@cmake.org Subject: Re: [CMake] Make install permissions advice for ubuntu 14.04 with cmake 2.8 On 05/06/2016 17:01, B00083603 Michael O Brien wrote: > sudo make install > > When I run sudo make install I get the error > /bin/sh: 1: cd: can't cd to > /home/michael.obrien/setups/OpenCV/opencv-2.4.13/build > make[2]: *** [3rdparty/libtiff/CMakeFiles/libtiff.dir/depend] Error 2 > make[1]: *** [3rdparty/libtiff/CMakeFiles/libtiff.dir/all] Error 2 > make: *** [all] Error 2 > > If I run the command make install the build will complete but I get an > error "CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE): file cannot create > directory /usr/local/include/opencv2.

Can you do this: sudo -s cd /home/michael.obrien/setups/OpenCV/opencv-2.4.13/build That will check that root has permission to cd there. One thought for why this might fail: is your homedir on NFS with root_squash enabled? That might prevent root access. What are the permissions on this directory, and its parents?
