Hi Bruce,

Just to make sure: Are you running these commands as root or as a normal user?

The cmake and make steps should be run as normal user, the make install step
as root. The whole thing could be done as root, but that would be a bad
habit :-)

I would expect a "permission denied" message to show up somewhere if you tried
running make install as a normal user.

Just had a look at /opt/darktable: All files and dirs should be owned by
root:root.

About the installed dev version: Most of the time I overwrite, every so often
 I completely clean out /opt/darktable to start fresh.

Hope this helps.

Jacques.
