Chromium build gclient runhooks error number 13

Question

I am getting the following error while running gclient runhooks for building chromium.

running '/usr/bin/python src/tools/clang/scripts/update.py --if-needed' in '/media/usrname/!!ChiLL out!!'

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "src/tools/clang/scripts/update.py", line 283, in sys.exit(main())

File "src/tools/clang/scripts/update.py", line 269, in main stderr=os.fdopen(os.dup(sys.stdin.fileno())))

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 522, in call return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in init errread, errwrite)

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1327, in _execute_child raise child_exception

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied Error: Command /usr/bin/python src/tools/clang/scripts/update.py --if-needed returned non-zero exit status 1 in /media/usrname/!!ChiLL out!!

In order to get permission of the directory "/usr/bin/python src/tools/clang/scripts" I tried chown and chmod but it returned the same error.

I think the python scripts in scripts directory are trying to modify some other files or directories .... try to trace what it is trying to do...... You have not specified the OS on which u are working ....... see this link https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-python/issues/22

It says Linux Mint 17 is not supported officially.....

Answer 2

Actually the directory was not mounted with execution permission. So I remounted the directory with execution permission using
mount -o exec /dev/sda5 /media/usrname
and it worked fine.
