Installation Failing

Question

Hi, I'm a complete newbie, trying to install Motion, and it's failing. The output lines on the install messages are included below. It seems to be failing to create a file/folder? even though I have root permissions. I realise I probably haven't supplied enough information, but I'm not sure what else you'll need at this point. I'll help you help me as much as I can so if you need more info please let me know what... Thanks! Matt
