[Buildroot] building buildroot is not successful

[M.A. Hockings <veeshooter@hockings.net>]

Please be gentle with me, I am yet learning Linux and all.  For this I 
have looked back through the archives but don't see anything that I 
recognize as being the same problem.

I am trying to build buildroot on a Centos 5.4 box.  The build fails 
with a permission denied error when accessing package/config/mconf but 
it is not clear to me why.  I extracted the source with my id into a 
directory for which I have full access so I would not expect simple 
authority to be the problem.

Thanks for any suggestions
