Sort of. It's a common mistake with installation of new software. In
this case the command "cp cdda_interface.h /usr/local/include" has
been run with no directory called "/usr/local/include existing.
To fix the problem run these commands as root:
mv /usr/local/include /usr/local/cdda_interface.h
mkdir /usr/local/include
chmod 755 /usr/local/include
mv /usr/local/cdda_interface.h /usr/local/include/cdda_interface.h
chmod 644 /usr/local/include/cdda_interface.h
Cheers,
Mark.
