Installation problem - RT under leased box

I don’t have root access to this box I’m installing RT, so I changed the
necessary fields in the Makefile to run under my username and group.

While doing “make install”, I got this:

make install
mkdir -p /u2/home/hermann/rt/bin
mkdir -p /u2/home/hermann/rt/bin/cgi
mkdir -p /u2/home/hermann/rt/etc
cp -p ./etc/config.pm ./etc/mysql.acl /u2/home/hermann/rt/etc
mkdir -p /u2/home/hermann/rt/etc/templates
cp -rp ./etc/templates /u2/home/hermann/rt/etc/templates/…
mkdir -p /u2/home/hermann/rt/transactions
cp -rp ./bin/rtmux.pl /u2/home/hermann/rt/bin/rtmux.pl

/u2/home/hermann/rt/bin/rtmux.pl
mkdir -p /u2/home/hermann/rt/lib
cp -rp ./lib/* /u2/home/hermann/rt/lib
cp: /u2/home/hermann/rt/lib/rt/database.pm: Permission denied
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/hermann/download/rt.

Any clues??? TIA

Search the MakeFile for the word root and replace it with your given user name - you’ll find there’s
a couple of chown commands later in the file that need editing.
