[Qgis-developer] make permission errors

Hi devs,

I am trying to get fTools ready for including, and I've run into a 
slight problem. After copying the fTools directory into:

qgis_source_dir/python/plugins/

and adding all the relevant CMakeFiles files, I am unable to run ccmake 
without generating the following error:

 CMake Error: Cannot open file for write:
 /home/cfarmer/dev/cpp/qgis/build/python/plugins/ftools/Makefile.tmp

 CMake Error: : System Error: Permission denied

 CMake Error: Cannot open file for write:
 /home/cfarmer/dev/cpp/qgis/build/python/plugins/ftools/CMakeFiles/CMakeDirectoryInformation.cmak
 e.tmp

 CMake Error: : System Error: Permission denied

 CMake Error: Cannot open file for write:
 /home/cfarmer/dev/cpp/qgis/build/python/plugins/ftools/cmake_install.cmake.tmp

 CMake Error: : System Error: Permission denied

 CMake Error: Cannot open file for write:
 /home/cfarmer/dev/cpp/qgis/build/python/plugins/ftools/tools/Makefile.tmp

Similarly, running make generates an error (very similar to the above 
output), but completes by saving the temp makefiles to the build 
directory. This means I can make and install QGIS ok, but I'd like to 
resolve this issue before I commit anything to svn. I'm not sure why I'm 
getting this error, except perhaps that my fTools directory does not 
have the right permissions somehow?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Carson
