Hi Jeff,

I jsut answered it on StackOverflow. Since it might be interesting
to readers of this mailing list, I include some part of it here.

The permission error is due to the fact that not all possible
intermediate representations of a Curry program are precompiled
in the Ubuntu package. Unfortunately, the "default rule translator"
of CurryPP requires one of these intermediate representations.

The Ubuntu/Debian package is intended only for using the
kernel of Curry. For other extensions and more advanced tools,
I recommend to install PAKCS manually, e.g., the current release from
https://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~pakcs/download.html
If you already have Ubuntu, a simple `make` should be sufficient.

Regards,

Michael
