[SOLVED] problem using make pkg

I am trying to use makepkg to install yaourt.  I am getting this error message:[xcia@mhost yaourt]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: yaourt 0.9.1-1 x86_64 (Sun Dec 14 15:32:49 PST 2008)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies...
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/xcia/built/yaourt/src': Permission denied

I am also getting this error when I try to install nspluginwrapper-flash   

Any help welcome.

Thank you

Re: [SOLVED] problem using make pkg

Do you have write permissions on /home/xcia/built/yaourt?

Post the output of "ls -l /home/xcia/built".

Re: [SOLVED] problem using make pkg

I changed directory ownership to xcia.  chown -R -v  xcia /home/xcia

This allowed mkdir to have write permission
