Use "ls -l" to see the file's permissions and then compare them. "man chmod" and "man chown" also can help you. )

We should allow the installation of mods in the user folder https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/2426

Thats because I placed all openra stuff in home ~/.openra folder, without install.

Would be better if it supports place custom mods (and other override files) in ~/.openra folder and main unchanged files in /usr/share/openra/

It would be really useful if someone could post an updated step-by-step tutorial to know how to compile the latest openra-bleed under linux, after a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 ?

... a very detailed tutorial with all commands required to test the latest development builds.

Have a look at https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/bleed/.travis.yml because our CI system uses an Ubuntu backend.
