Re: ar: liba2ps.a: rename: Permission denied

Thank you for all your responses.

I figured out a way to solve the problem. Originally I stored all the files 
on an ancient Next file server. According to a warning message from Matlab, 
it may have timestamp problems.

``This server appears to support UNIX-style directory timestamp updates.''

Now, I moved the source to a NT file server. And it worked out.
