I'm installing Globus Toolkit . When i try to setup Certificate , this error comes :

ERROR: could not run build command: /usr/local/globus-5.0.3/sbin/gpt-build -force /home/globus/.globus/simpleCA//globus_simple_ca_2e0087ee_setup-0.20.tar.gz

I think this may be due to denial of permission. I tried executing the file with 'sudo' . It says

globus is not in sudoers file . This incident will be reported

I tried adding globus user to sudoers file .

For your reference , /etc/group file :

sudo:x:27:globus,arul

admin:x:1002:arul,globus

(I'm using Linux Mint debian . user arul has sudo privilege . But i've to install Globus in the globus user)

    While phunehehe has answered your question, I doubt you really need to build Globus as root. If you describe precisely what you've been doing (what leads up to this error), people might be able to figure out what caused your build to fail. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Apr 04 '11 at 19:23

After you add the user to sudoers, that user needs to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect. So, simply logging out and in should give your globus user sudo rights.

I'm assuming that you have the correct configuration in /etc/sudoers. To make globus a sudoer you need the line:

globus ALL=(ALL) ALL

Or you need to add globus to the wheel group and then have the line:

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

Or some equivalent.
