i have made the debian package. I have installed it and it is noww coming
under Applications->education->gcompris.
But when i am trying to launch it, there comes :

Could not launch menu item
Failed to execute child process "gcompris" (Permission denied)

On terminal also the command 'gcompris' is not coming.

>  2. tar xzf gcompris-8.4.8.tar.gz
>  3. Get the source of the debian package:
>    apt-get source gcompris
>  4. Copy the debian/ directory to the new GCompris version:
>    cp -a gcompris_8.4.x/debian/ gcompris-8.4.8/
>  5. Add a new entry in gcompris-8.4.8/debian/changelog
>  6. Make any other needed modifications to gcompris-8.4.8/debian/
>  7. Compile the package:
>    cd gcompris-8.4.8
>    dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
>  8. If it doesn't work, go to 6.
