Hi All:

I’m trying to build IronRuby from source in VS 2008 and get the  
following error:

Error 17 Unable to create directory  
"…..........\Merlin\Main\Bin\Debug". Access to the path  
'…..........\Merlin\Main\Bin\Debug' is denied.  
Microsoft.Scripting.Core

Any suggestions?

Can you give us more details?

1. 

```
 what dir did you check out the sources into

```

2. 

```
 I'm assuming this is the latest (114 build)

```

3. 

```
 You're using the IronRuby.sln file?

```

Thanks,  
-John
