I am trying to install xfi drivers, Ubuntu 9.04, but get the following error in the terminal:


jaypugh@jaypugh-desktop:~/Desktop/XFiDrv$ make install
Copy module files...
mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/drivers/ssound': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1


Any ideas?? Your help is very welcome.

make install writes to places on the / partition so you need sudo to make install


sudo make install

If you run
sudo !! it will run the last command you entered with root priviliges

ie:
make install
sudo !!

= sudo make install
