It's telling you permission denied because the "commands" you are putting aren't commands at all! Make.conf is just a config filel When you try to run a non-executable as a program it seems that this is the error it gives you. Are you trying run make and X windows? To run make, just type make. To run X, just type startx. Hope this is the problem.

Put "exec gnome-session" in your .xinitrc file. Make sure that gnome-session is in your $PATH, though (type "which gnome-session" and make sure that the command is found).

ok
i typed
ee .xinitrc
and put exec gnome-session
typed "which gnome-session"
an i got "/usr/x11r6/bin/gonme-session"
went back and changed the .xinitrc file
tept startx
and it gave me :
(==) log file :"/var/log/xfree86.0.log ,
(==) using config file: "/etc/x11/xf86config
exec: usr/x11r6/bin/gonme-session: not fond
xauth : (argv) :1: bad display name "eytan.domin_not_set.invalid:0" in "remove" comand

thank you
