make sure you the same user that installed Unreal. "Permission Denied" is a very literal error.

No IRC application should ever be run as root. Installing as root to avoid a system configuration issue like yours isn't the answer either. If you have a compiler but it can't be seen as a user, that just means it's not installed in $PATH. The solution is to add it to $PATH and not install as root. My advice is to fix your $PATH issue first (just google it). then install as a normal non-root user.
All that said, it's still a permissions issue regardless of who you run it as. "Permission Denied" is a very literal error.

$PATH is a list of directories that will be used to find programs you use. so if you type: gcc, your shell will look in $PATH for that application, if it doesn't exist then it will complain.
Code: Select all
katsklaw@THEBES:~$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
katsklaw@THEBES:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
Notice how my gcc is in /usr/bin ? and /usr/bin is in my $PATH ??
Different distributions act differently as far as where to set your $PATH permanently, sometimes it's .bashrc sometimes it's .profile. You'll just have to find it as configuring gcc is outside the scope of this website. Which is why I said google it.

$PATH seems to be fine...
Code: Select all
root@sting [~]# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
root@sting [~]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/jdk/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin

Again, get away from root! Try it as a normal user.
