[Box Backup] Testing boxbackup after compiling - What to do about errors?

[Chris Wilson]

Hi Tobias,

Probably, root has created all the files and they are not writable by a 
normal user, so make cannot rebuild anything. You could try a make clean 
first, or extract a second copy of the source.

I'm afraid you will have to provide much more details, such as the context 
surrounding the "FAILURE:" lines in the test output, before we can help 
you here.

Cheers, Chris.
