LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] /dev/pts/#: device activation failed.

Hey guys, I'm trying to install an app [gpsd] using this line

Code:

scons && scons testregress && sudo scons udev-install

As far as I can tell it sets up some tests scripts in the process but they seem to fail every time and give me this error.

Code:

Processing test/daemon/ch-4701.log...gpsd:ERROR: device open failed: Permission denied - retrying read-only

gpsd:ERROR: read-only device open failed: Permission denied

gpsd:ERROR: /dev/pts/2: device activation failed.

gpsd:ERROR: device open failed: Permission denied - retrying read-only

gpsd:ERROR: read-only device open failed: Permission denied

gpsd:ERROR: /dev/pts/2: device activation failed.

What does this mean? By default permission in this folder look like this

Code:

[root@localhost gpsd-3.9]# ll /dev/pts

total 0

crw--w----. 1 root tty  136, 0 Aug 25 14:34 0

crw--w----. 1 root tty  136, 1 Aug 25 14:36 1

c---------. 1 root root  5, 2 Aug 25 14:21 ptmx

I tried manually changing the permission using chmod 666 /dev/pts/* but this doesn't help. Any ideas?
