[FGS] Installation troubles: "Permission denied"

[Joe Nannery]

Thank you guys for the response.  Mktemp is not on my linux server (actually, neither is dpkg), I am actually having difficulties getting it compiled...so if anyone has mktemp precompiled for linux that might help a ton.  I would like to install this as a root.

Joe,

On which platform are you installing fgs?  Do you install it as normal 
user or as root?  In which directory do you want to install it?

mktemp doesn't seem to be installed on your system.  Test it by doing 
dpkg -l |grep mktemp
