Hey,
Could be related to file ownership, try "ls -l" in your application folder (and "ls -l Make") to check that you are indeed allowed to read all files or directories. If not so, you will need to change the ownership or the rights (chmod or chown) for these files (you may need root permissions to do so). Good luck!

Hey,

As "raumpolizei" stated you have no control over those files. You may notice that when you type "ls -al" on the left you see a series of "rwx" letters for each file and directory. You need at least the first three to be able to read, write and execute for any file. look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod to get an idea about the topic.
