Permission denied while trying to open logfile\

[Fill]

I have a problem starting ZoneMinder. I installed it in my home-made Debian Linux 5.0 server:

BOX4:/home/filipe/ZoneMinder-1.24.2# zmpkg.pl start
Warning, overriding installed ./zm.conf file with local copy
Can't open log file '/tmp/zmdc.log': Permission denied at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 279.
Can't connect: Permission denied at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 349
ZoneMinder::Debug::Fatal('Can\'t connect: Permission denied') called at /usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl line 168
BOX4:/home/filipe/ZoneMinder-1.24.2#

so what now??
