- Error description
Sometimes when trying to run a make install command you could see an error like the following (the error's details could vary but the general error is the same):
Error: failed to open file '$(DEVDIR)/fs/fs/.ash_history' Permission denied (error 13) ... make: *** [install] Error 2
- Explanation
This error is caused when your board was or is used in NFS mode and it creates the .ash_history file, this file is created in your board's file system with root permissions and then in the host machine as root, so you don't have permissions to read it.
- How to fix it
In order to fix this error you just need to erase the file by running the following command:
sudo rm $(DEVDIR)/fs/fs/.ash_history
or instead you can just change the ownership as follows:
sudo chown <user> -R $(DEVDIR)/fs/fs/
