I have a hosting package where I have a private Tomcat and I run Hudson. I wanted to start using Mercurial and BitBucket (which is fantastic btw), my problem is that the Hudson or Mercurial plugin does not bind Mercurial in the same way as Subversion, and you must point your plugin to your Mercurial installation. Mercurial is not installed on my hosting, so I tried (with limited Linux skills) to install it myself.
I soon learned that I needed to run install as root, which I obviously did not have. Even if I run it without root, it still tries to write to directories that only have root access.
Am I missing something or does it sound as if I could not install it without root privileges?
Thanks Sean
