So, as a non-root user, you cannot do anything inthere. Use chown -R to change the ownership of the entire directory tree.Whether you meant running; # chown -R user1:user1 /usr/local/src then the owner and group of /usr will change from root:root to user1:user1
Correct.
OR just run; # chown -R user1:root /usr/local/src
This will work too, there won't be any difference, but do the first one.
