> |  | ### Check your installation To check that your installation has all the correct permissions and group ownerships, you should run the `check_perms` script:
>     % cd $prefix
>     % bin/check_perms
Don't try to run `check_perms` from the source directory; it will only run from the install (i.e. `$prefix`) directory. If this reports no problems, then it's very likely that your installation is set up correctly `:)` If it reports problems, then you can either fix them manually, re-run the installation, or use `check_perms` to fix the problems (probably the easiest solution): You need to become the user that did the installation (and that owns all the files in `$prefix`), or root. Run `bin/check_perms -f` Repeat previous step until no more errors are reported!
