I "SVN"ed fpc in /home/user/fpc
Then I started  "make" and all went well
Now I like to install the fpc-2.7.1 over the fpc-2.6.2
I get "permission denied" So I su as root.
I gave the command "make install FPC=/home/user/fpc-2.6.2"
The output is:
make install FPC=/home/user/fpc-2.6.2
make: execvp: /home/user/fpc-2.6.2: Permission denied
make compiler_cycle RELEASE=1
etc.
I still get premission denied. Any suggestions how to do it correctly?
OpenSUSE 12.3

DFid you mean

make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/fpc-2.6.2

assuming /home/user/fpc-2.6.2is an empty folder

su - instead of just su ?

See here input and output (after su root)
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/fpc-2.7.1
Makefile:197: *** The Makefile doesn't support target can't-executed,,
please run fpcmake first.  Stop.
I ran fpcmake
Same result as above
Any suggestion how to solve this problem is welcome
Thanks Teunis

It looks to me it can find the fronteloader fpc binary, but can't
execute it, or it can't execute the real compiler, ppc386 (ppcx64 if
64-bit).  Maybe execute permission problems?

Here is the binary:
teunis@linux-0iq0:~/fpc-2.6.2/lib/fpc/2.6.2> ls -l
total 2820

drwxr-xr-x 2 teunis users    4096 Feb 16 07:31 msg

drwxr-xr-x 3 teunis users    4096 Feb 16 07:31 units
It looks executable
By the way the problem is in the execvp command
I can't find a binary with that name. If I do "whereis" I only see the
manuals
