Make: Permission Denied (until I `cd .`)

  • 772

I have an account on a shared host running FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE. I was compiling my own version of Ruby today, and encountered this anomaly: If I tried to execute 'make', I get a "permission denied" error. However, if I execute:

cd .

And then 

make

Everything work just fine. Any clue why this happens? It obviously isn't causing me problems as I am eventually able to execute make just fine, but I am very curious what is going on here.

freebsd make

  1. I think maybe it's FreeBSD (weird) bug (or just my lack of knowledge about BSD ports/shell). Look at here.
