openssh unix dev - Sep 2014 - facing issues while compiling openSSH using openssl-1.0.1i

Hi,

When I am trying to update openSSH using openssl-1.0.1i.It is giving issues.

./mkinstalldirs /home/epooshi/x86/openssh/openssh-5.2p1//libexec
mkdir /home/epooshi/x86/openssh/openssh-5.2p1/libexec
(umask 022 ; ./mkinstalldirs /var/empty)
mkdir /var/empty
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/var/empty"; Permission denied
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-files'

I would be very grateful if someone can give some hint that where is the
problem.

Best Regards,
Poorvi Shivhare

Hi Poorvi,

you need root permissions to create /var/empty. use sudo.

Given the location that you are trying to install OpenSSH, I'm making
the assumption that you only want the client. In that case, you can run
"make install-nosysconf."
