I am pretty new Mac OS, but my background is from Linux (Unix), so I didn’t notice that the default filesystem in Mac is case-insensitive.
While getting a code of linux kernel through svn, I encounter this error:
This problem is caused by the case-insensitive filesystem being used in MacOS. There are distinguished files, ipt_TCPMSS.h and ipt_tcpmss.h for netfilter_ipv4.
To solve the problem, there are two ways.
Use Disk Utility to shrink the size of your existing boot partition to just big enough to contain the existing files. Create a new partition that is only Mac OS (Journaled) and is NOT case sensitive. Backup the original drive to the new partition. I used SuperDuper! But you can use rsync.
Under OSX, to avoid this issue and avoid other problems with developing on a case-insensitive filesystem, you can use Disk Utility to create a case sensitive virtual drive / disk image. Run disk utility, create new disk image, and use the following settings (or change as you like, but keep it case sensitive). I used the uppercase version from bundleid but maybe the lower case version might work for you. My Mac is not case sensitive. Hi, actually i'm working on windows pc, so i think i dont have to give permission. But i've tried to run unity as administrator and i've changed folder name to lowercase and both solutions did not help to me.

Mac Case Sensitive File System
This is very painful, and would cause not running properly for a certain software like Photoshop. (What a mistake: case-sensitive HFS on my mac book) However, this will make faster than using dmg.

2. Create a disk image (dmg) for the specific project with case-sensitive.

Using dmg would be a little bit slower, but this makes easy. Using Disk Utility, you can create a disk volume with case-sensitive attribute.
