I'm logged in as root, copied the files to /home/user, but when I try to ./motion I get "permission denied". Any thoughts?

Also, a follow-up, how would I turn it off, just close the camera?

Can't wait to monitor the dog when away. But wait, that DOES mean I have to leave my nokia behind...no way.

EDIT: Does this work on OS2008? I searched the "applications running on OS2008" thread but came up empty...

EDIT2: I changed permissions to 777 and got it to run, but it is still failing. Do I need to have the camera out prior to running the app, do I close the internet call app that automatically pops open when the camera is enabled? Any help would be appreciated.
