10. I get a 'make: Permission denied' error when I type 'make config' or 'make' (FreeBSD / *BSD)
This is caused by a bug in FreeBSD (and possibly other BSDs as well). 
A simple 'cd .', or changing to a different directory and then changing back, usually fixes this.


Example:

$ cd /home

$ ls
ls: .: Permission denied

$ cd

$ ls -la
