[simon ben]

 Dear All,
I did the following to upgrade rancid from rancid 3.9 to 3.13
downloaded the new tar file and unzip in /home/rancid/tar/rancid-3.13 and i try to run configure it gives me the below error
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rancid
./configure: line 1912: config.log: Permission denied
./configure: line 1922: config.log: Permission denied
the permissions for the directory is as belowdrwxr-xr-x 8   7053 wheel    4096 Aug 23  2021 rancid-3.13
Appreciate  any advice and help 
wondering where is the permission issue

Thanks and Regards
Simon

If you use the same arguments to configure as used for 3.9 (or your 
package system has), then the new can just be installed over the
old.

Review the CHANGES file for changes to rancid.conf (and are labeled as
rancid.conf changes), which will not be overwritten or merged by the
install process.

LMK if you identify specfic confusion about the upgrading document.  At
a glance, I do see that it needs some improvement and expunging of really
old version information.

Prost
