[Mesa-users] Question-Mesa-installation-permission-issue

[Nancy Kain]

Hello,

I am installing the latest version of MESA (mesa-r15140), using Ubuntu /
Linux on my windows 10, so far I have prepared & extracted in my home
directory the mesasdk-x86_64-linux-21.4.1, & mesa-r15140. As administrator.
In a final step, in the $MESA_DIR, typing './install' gives me an error:
''Mesa should not be installed using root privileges, sudo is a bad idea to
solve the problem. *Contact the mesa-users mailing-list if you have
permission issues.* Or change the ./install file to avoid this check''

So for ex. ''sudo apt-get install'' ...is not helping. & i don't know how
to change the ./install file to allow the installation on a root location.
So I should probably change some permissions settings to let the mesa
install but what/ where exactly?

I hope this is the right address for this question,
Thank You in advance,
NK
