compiling in a linux environment

[sos]

when i try to compile a sample swing application downloaded from Sun's sight i get the following error msg:

SwingApplication.java:17: error while writing <anonymous SwingApplication$1>: SwingApplication$1.class (Permission denied)
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
^
1 error

If i log on as root (su) then compile everything werks great, i can run the app no prob....
How do i set up my linux box so that i can compile without having to log on as root each time?

thanx in advance

I'm not sure, but I'd use chmod and make sure the java bin and libraries are at least r for users and that your directory is r/w for users. I'd also perhaps check your X windows or whatever GUI you have.
