Hi,

I'm trying to build dspam in cygwin after some changes in the build
scripts it compiled but now I'm trying to install it using make install
and this fails.
I get the following error:
/usr/bin/install: cannot change permissions of <file>: Permission
denied

I've tried to change the permission of a file manually and both chmod
and chown succeeded although chown changes aren't shown by ls -l.

Am I missing something or why can I change the permissions manually but
the install can't?

Regards
Andrwe
