I think this kind of error is appeared because of the one reason, and I have a solution on this that is, you should change the permission of the folder in which your makefile is located. Here I have given you example for the same. "# chmod -R 744 foo.d"try it out, Here foo.d is the folder where makefile is situated. I hope this information may help you.

There may be several reasons for this error message, if you don’t have the full administrative right then you getting this kind of errors. First check that you are having full administrative right, if you are then I think you should try out this command 'make -n install 2>&1|tee /tmp/make.txt' this will run the file and log details will add to the "/tmp/make.txt" which is a text file. If you are having any other query then reply me.
