Since I added the error line I can't reproduce it, but here's what I got right before:


-obelix- dfaure 20:22 /d/kde/src/trunk-kde>./kdesvn-build kdebase
Script started processing at Mon Jan 21 20:22:31 2008

        Logging to std out due to failure creating log dir.

The above is when it fails. When it succeeds, it looks like this:

<<<  Build Process  >>>
Log directory for global is /d/kde/src/trunk-kde/log/2008-01-21-16
mkdir /d/kde/src/trunk-kde/log/2008-01-21-16/
Success

Success

No. root is not involved anywhere on my kde4 system, I build, install, and run as "dfaure".

I don't think the error is "permission denied", I think it's "directory already exists".
