[Solved]You do not have write permission to create package

Hi archers! this is my second installation of arch on my laptop. I used nouveau driver in the first installation and it worked pretty well but this time I used nvidia packages which is the beginning of error that

[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

so i tried to compile the package manually but when I

makepkg -s

it returns, I don't have write permission, what can I do it? any idea? Is there any solution without installing yaourt?

Re: [Solved]You do not have write permission to create package

This issue comes up in a search—you are most likely trying to run makepkg somewhere outside your home directory, where you do not have permissions.

Move the PKGBUILD (and any associated files) somewhere under ~ (I use ~/builds/<pkgname>) and try again.

What package are you trying to compile? nvidia? Unless you're using the stock Arch PKGBUILD, post the link to the PKGBUILD you're using.

Yes, I'm in the directory. I placed nvidia to

$HOME/abs/nvidia

and

cd $HOME/abs/nvidia 

and ran makepkg.

Re: [Solved]You do not have write permission to create package

So pwd says you're definitely in /home/username/abs/nvidia? If so this is weird. You didn't make the any of the subfolders as root did you? And your account owns the /home/username directory too?
I overlooked that on a recent install. Made the /home/username directory as root. Of course, then only root had write access to it.

Or maybe the tarball inherited some bogus folder permissions? I remember reading once that tar can retain folder and ownership settings.

Re: [Solved]You do not have write permission to create package

Hey guys I got a bit problem here. I got a new error when I ran

 optirun glxgears 

which is already shown in the troubleshooting section from Bumblebee wiki that

[ 1648.179533] [ERROR]You've no permission to communicate with the Bumblebee daemon. Try adding yourself to the 'bumblebee' group
[ 1648.179628] [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?

and I did it as [link] http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 7#p1517947 [/link] but today I when I run

 option glxgears 

I got

 [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 2361 does not belong to any known session
[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled. 

and doing the solving instruction from bumblebee wiki doesn't make any difference. what should I do?
