I cannot figure out how it's possible that I'm getting "permission denied" as root. Something might be missing execute permission, but I cannot figure out from this error message what that might be. In any event, I followed the installation instructions exactly as written so I'm at a loss. Any suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting this?
