Squid is not a script. "compiler errors" only happen at runtime when
runngin scripts.
Squid is a binary, it has to be compiled successfully to use. Your is
having a "permission" error.


It sounds like the system integration build options have not been set
the same. The paths options are obvious, but they also include things
like the --with-default-user.

Or may SELinux/Apparmour settings are getting in the way. 3.5 changes
the UDS names slightly so they may not be configured to permit the squid
process to use the new names.
In this case from cf__metadata.shm to ${service_name}-cf__metadata.shm
where ${service_name} is teh value pased in the -n (lower case) command
line parameter.
