I have to compile ctorrent using makefile, but I always have the same error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/g507565/Downloads/ctorrent-dnh3.3.2'
test -z "/usr/local/bin" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/local/bin"
  /usr/bin/install -c 'ctorrent' '/usr/local/bin/ctorrent'
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/ctorrent': Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/g507565/Downloads/ctorrent-dnh3.3.2'
make: *** [install-am] Error 2

I don't know how to do it. Any help please.

Unless you have an issue with the specific version of ctorrent that you want to install, open the terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install ctorrent  

Visit this link for more information about using ctorrent.

Otherwise, regarding your error message, did you use sudo before your make install command if you used make install? I searched the internet and found a file called ctorrent-dnh3.3.2.tar.gz and found the instructions for installing it in the file called INSTALL. The INSTALL file has the make install command in it, so I suggest you look for an INSTALL file in the file you downloaded, and then open the INSTALL file in a text editor and read the installation instructions.

/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/ctorrent': Permission denied

This shows that you do not have permissions to create the file /usr/local/bin/ctorrent

As karel already wrote most likely you used the make install as normal user.

So either use sudo or change the installation location with the "prefix" value.
