4 Check your installation</A>
</H1>
<P>
After you've run <b class="program">make install</b>, you should check that your
installation has all the correct permissions and group ownerships by running
the <b class="program">check_perms</b> script. First change to the installation
(i.e. <var>$prefix</var>) directory, then run the <b class="program">bin/check_perms</b>
program. Don't try to run bin/check_perms from the source directory; it will
only run from the installation directory.
<P>
If this reports no problems, then it's very likely <wink> that your
installation is set up correctly. If it reports problems, then you can either
fix them manually, re-run the installation, or use <b class="program">bin/check_perms</b>
to fix the problems (probably the easiest solution):
<P>
<UL>
<LI>You need to become the user that did the installation, and that owns all
the files in <var>$prefix</var>, or root.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Run <b class="program">bin/check_perms -f</b>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Repeat previous step until no more errors are reported!
