The script tries to set the file ownership to root:root so that no other user
can modify the file. Did the script ask for root password? Or did you run it as
root? You may have a more strict security configuration on your system. You can
try and comment the 'chown' line.

Then type:

cd [campsite_sources_dir]
su
make install

This should install the Campsite base system. Type:

/usr/local/campsite/bin/create_instance

to create the default campsite instance.

Regards,
Mugur
