Hi. I'm sure this is an easy problem for experienced linux users and your help is MOST appreciated. I have configured a program called CLHEP and all tests pass. However my next directive is to type "make install," and here the problem arises. For some reason there is a permission issue on my computer. Can anyone please solve this problem????? The following is direct text of where the problem begins.
 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/winn/CLHEP/StdHep/include'
