It sounds like you dont have write permission where ever it wants to create
Makemaker.tmp.
In the directory you're building in, and as root, try:
chown -R me.mygroup *
That will make you the owner of all files in that dir and the ones below it
(-R), and also set
the group to mygroup. Untested, but it's worked for me on other things.
