Whenever I try to install jEdit on Solaris 8 I get an error about it not being able to create a dirctory. Here is a text log:

Maybe you do not have write permission?
a0864763@giovanni [/home/a0864763]

I'm installing this in my home directory and I do have write permission everywhere in my home directory.

Please help.

Thanks,
