I've tried your suggestions but unfortunately with no luck. I installed Blitzmax under my username, but I did chown anyway just to be safe. Then I did chmod on the Blitzmax directory and verified the changes in the file manager, yet I still get the same fail error.
I then tried running bmk as root by prefixing it with sudo, after doing a 'bmk cleanmods'. That didn't work either. One thing I don't entirely understand is what directories bmk is trying to create... the hidden .bmx folder is created successfully, as well as a 'modname.bmx.debug.s' file inside it. Is there anywhere in particular that the Blitzmax directory should reside? Currently it's in my home folder.
