When you ran "make install," did you have permission to write to /usr/local/...? On most systems, the "Unix System Resources" (/usr) directory (and all it's subdirectories) can only be written to by the super-user (root) or members of the admin group.

If that's your problem, ask your administrator to install the theme for you, or (if you're the administrator), add yourself to the /etc/sudoers file and do a sudo make install.

You could also try a make --help install to see if there's an option to install the theme in one of your personal directories.

first i install with root
there is no file with name sudoers in the directory /etc
i tried the command sudo make install but in vain

Do a yum install sudo to install the sudo command. (It should have been installed by default. Strange. :scratch: )

It's fairly dangerous, and poor policy, to run as root unless you absolutely have to do so, since a simple typographic error as root can have catastrophic consequences. (Of course, once you have sudo working, you can still destroy your system with a typo, but it restricts the root privilege to a single command rather than everything you type.)

In any case, though, since you tried the make install as root, and got the unable to write error message, try creating the directory into which the make is attempting to write the theme files. Sometimes the people creating the make instructions neglect including the code to make sure the directory actually exists before trying to write to it.

Note that, in order to use the theme after it's installed, you'll need to point the theme manager to the directory where it was written.
