That looks like a TeX configuration problem. I'm guessing that when TeX
encounters \documentclass{article}, it asks the path-searching library
for "article.cls", and for some reason /root and /lost+found are
included in the path. You don't have permission as normal user to access
these directories, so the library causes error messages to be printed.
The path probably also includes the correct directories, so the search
eventually succeeds, but then article.cls wants to input size10.clo,
causing a new round of errors:

> ./root/size10.clo.tex: Permission denied
> ./root/size10.clo: Permission denied
(etc)

Have you set any TeX-related environment variables or edited any
configuration files? What does "kpsepath tex" print?
