manual installing in Debian

[Tran Tuan Anh <trantuan@comp.nus.edu.sg>]

Hi,

I have a program which has no Debian package,
hence I have to compile myself.
There are 2 executable file:
spin (binary file), and xspin (tcl script).

So I "su" and "cp" those 2 to /usr/local/bin

spin is runing well from other users' account.
but xspin is actually a script file, I could run
it as a normal user,
this is the error I got:
" Error in startup script: couldn't read file "/usr/local/bin/xspin":
permission denied "

but if I "su" and run it from root then everything is fine.

I really get lost...
Hope someone can give me a hint!

Thanks  a lot!
