hi
i am trying to install an assembler called spim. The makefile says:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

#
# To make spim, type:
#
# make spim
#
# Cannot make xpsim under windows. Use PCSpim instead.
#
# To verify spim works, type:
#
# make test
#

.SUFFIXES:
.SUFFIXES: .c .o

#
# The following parameters must be set for the target machine:
#
#

# Path for directory that contains the source of the CPU code:
CPU_DIR = ../CPU
VPATH = src:$(CPU_DIR)

# Path of directory that contains SPIM tests:
TEST_DIR = ../Tests

# Path of directory that contains documentation:
DOC_DIR = ../Documentation



# Full path for the directory that will hold the executable files:
BIN_DIR = /usr/local/bin

# Full path for the directory that will hold the exception handler:
EXCEPTION_DIR = /usr/local/lib

# Full path for the directory that will hold the man files:
MAN_DIR = /usr/man/mann

------------------------------------------------------------------
so i create directory called spim and then run

make
- this works ok, then i run :

make install

and i get:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#make -f Makefile spim2
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/richard/spim/spim-7.3/spim'
gcc -g spim-utils.o run.o mem.o inst.o data.o sym-tbl.o y.tab.o lex.yy.o syscall.o display-utils.o string-stream.o spim.o -lm -o spim -lm
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/richard/spim/spim-7.3/spim'
install -c -s spim /usr/local/bin
install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/spim': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1
[richard@localhost spim]$ #

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
