Arch Linux

Description:
When installing the package, and after doing the recommended changes in /etc/php/php.ini, running PTS yields a lot of "permission denied" errors, eg.:

mkdir(): Permission denied in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/pts_file_io.php:28

It seems PTS is trying to run as root, and trying to modify files my user does not have permissions to access.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 5.8.1
* Editing "pts-core/pts-core.php" and replacing everything inside the "...":


if(PTS_IS_DAEMONIZED_SERVER_PROCESS)
{
...
}

With everything that is inside the "..." from a few lines below:

else if(PTS_IS_CLIENT)
{
...
}

will make the program run.

(yes, it is a dirty hack)

I tried to create a new user and repeat the procedure, but the result is the same.

Steps to reproduce:
#pacman -S phoronix-test-suite
edit /etc/php/php.ini and alter the recommended settings
$phoronix-test-suite info c-ray
