Help Installing Unix Based Software

I have been searching the internet high and low for the past few days, and have found nothing to help me.
I'm trying to install a certain software that will give me ultimate flexibility over creating audio cds (in particular, the space inbetween tracks). This seems to be my answer (http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/) with it's GUI located here (http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/gcdmaster/index.html).
My only problem is, I can't figure out how the heck to install them! The Terminal is a very foreign thing to me, as well as anything Unix. Please help!

Christina,
Welcome to the discussions!
I would encourage you to try a package management tool like fink or darwin ports first if you are not yet comfortable with the unix command line. There are great tutorials around and this place is a great place to get advice from "veteran" unix users - so please ask more if you want help.
This package (as listed on the original site) is not reported as working on Mac. Usually it is because there is work to be done to figure out device drivers or find parts of the code that need to be changed specifically for one operating system.
Have a look at http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/cdrdao - as it appears that someone has taken the code and modified it to be easily installed using fink tools.
The steps to get fink running are here...
Good luck and post back if you have any more questions or need help with fink.

    Just got a macbook pro, no disc drive. how do I install disc-based software? Do I have to buy an external drive? ARgh.

    Yes, an external drive will be necessary.  You may purchase the Mac superdrive from the online store or one from another manufacturer.  All will work.

  • How to install DVD based software on Mini

    How do I install DVD based software on a Mac Mini? Does it have a "CD/DVD" Drive? There appears to be a slot on the back. Is that a "SuperDrive" or whatever the **** they call it now?

    If you have another PC/Mac on your network you can activate disc sharing to allow the Mac Mini to hijack the disc drive of that machine or acquire the Apple external drive or similar third party unit.
    The current models have NO built in disc drive, the space is now reserved for the optional second SSD on select added value models, and can also be used to install your own second drive with little jiggery pokery.
    With the likes of the Apple App Store, Amazon Store Microsoft Market (Office 2011) and Steam for games and other online vendors the need for physical discs is rapidly diminishing provided you have access to decent broadband bandwidth.
    If you are a serious gamer then the mac mini is probably the wrong machine for you anyway (PC or console surely).
    If you are using professional Adobe/Maya type software then the $70.00 external isn't going to break the bank is it ?

    I need help installing my adobe premiere element 13. the soft ware is 3.5 GB and I have a 654.4GB space is this enought space to dowload the software. It appears the software is downloading , but when it gets to the end it gives me the error summary message.

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. The Adobe Staff and PRE_help presence in this forum is undefined.
    The replies from here are not instantaneous. But, your fellow users all try to respond as timely as possible.
    What is your computer operating system?
    From where are you downloading Premiere Elements 13....direct from Adobe as the tryout or the purchased product? If the purchased product, do you now have a purchased serial number to go with the installation files?
    Where are you stopped in the installation....at the Sign In or before? Is the faulting module cited in any messages? What are the error messages?
    The usual questions:
    1. Are you working with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the computer programs as administrator?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    5. Are you installing the program to the default location on the Local Disc C (if Windows).
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details that you post. Subsequent troubleshooting may include:
    deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and/or uninstall, free ccleaner run through, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Windows 8 doesn't install

    Trying to install the package and well into the process I get an error message saying that my processor isn't supported and to contact my vendor..  I have a Lenovo U 410 LT with Win 8 Pro.  It has an Intel Core i7 processor.   I also tried the AMD version thinking they may have been swapped but it also does not install.  How to get it installed?  I really need the NFS in it.

    Hi stewartmcadoo,
    Welcome back to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that there is an error message displayed in your U410 Laptop while installing “Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Windows 8”, make sure you are installing this application as an Administrator User, if the issue is same even in this user account, I suggest you to download the package again and right click in the downloaded file select “Run as administrator” to get it installed in administrator mode, below is the link to download the SDK package:
    Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Windows 8
    Hope this helps!!!
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.

  • Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

    Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
    It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
    I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
    So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
    I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
    I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
    I am running Lion 10.7.3.
    Regards,
    Nicolas.
    (I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

    You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
    First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

  • I am having a problem installing the JDK Software. Please Help

    Please help I am Having trouble installing my JDK software. I tried to make a simple program saying Hello World and the program fails to work because it can not find my class.
    C:\Jfiles\DIR
    ILoveJava.java
    ILoveJava.class
    C:\Jfiles\Javac ILoveJava.java
    C:\Jfiles\Java ILoveJava
    Exception in thread "main" Java.lang.NoclassDeffounderror
    The Path seems to be set correctly because the Javac compiled.
    I have tried a number of different ClassPath Definitions like C:\JDK.14\Lib\Tools.jar and ClassPath=.;C:\JDK.14\Lib\Tools.jar and ClassPath=. and ClassPath=
    I made sure that the capitilization and the spelling was the same between the ILoveJava I specified in notepad and the program name.
    I am also having trouble with JBuilder, Eclispe and NetBeans with finding Classes.
    Another error that I received after I changed the ClassPath to ClassPath= .;C:\JDK1.4\bin\ was a
    nosuchmethod error, When I tried to run the program I made using Java ILoveJava.
    Is their any other problem like a conflict of some sort that could be causing this problem?
    Could the problem be anything besides the ClassPath and Path Settings?
    Please, help me? I really, really, need to learn Java. Thank You.

    Java Version 1.4.2.
    Windows XP

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !
    Regards,
    Vipul

  • I Mini with an i7 processor. I would like to use Boot Camp to install windows based CAD software on my MAC. Would it be better to use a plugin external hard drive to load my software on and if so what hard drive would you recommend?

  • Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD

    Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD.  I can't find my software box anywhere..... Is there a way to locate my serial number within the programs?  AND how can I download the programs from your site- all I see are downloads for the new PSE 11.

    You really need the DVD box which also has the serial numbers on the back. If you registered the product you can get the serial numbers by logging-in to My Adobe but that's not much help as only the current version 11 is available for download.

  • HT4972 i have iphone 3gs v 4,2.1 i want to upgrade to ios 5 i will erase all data, how can i install again the software, and now my device can not detect to my computer? what can i do? please help me..

    have iphone 3gs v 4,2.1 i want to upgrade to ios 5 i will erase all data, how can i install again the software, and now my device can not  be detect to my computer? what can i do? please help me..

    You can not install iOS 5. It is no longer signed by Apple. You can only install the current version of iOS. For a 3GS, that's 6.1.3.
    However... if you have 4.2.1 on your phone, odds are it is not a 3GS, it is a 3G. If that's the case, you've reached the end of the road for that. It can not run anything higher than 4.2.1.

    First, ask in the forum for the program you are using
    This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs
    If you start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
    You will be able to select a forum for the specific Adobe product(s) you use
    Click the "down arrow" symbol on the right (where it says All communities) to open the drop down list and scroll
    Second, do a complete scan with a good anti-virus program to be sure your computer is clean... I use Norton, there are others

    Plese Help. Me have FAT 32 USB, ISO, Boot cam say can't install windows support software because the software update server "(null)" can't be found.
    I know there are many other threads, but I guess I couldn't find clear answer to this problem. Is that the Apple's server problem or just me?
    I'm trying to install Windows7 via Bootcamp, with FAT 32 formated USB with ISO, on Macbook air 2012.
    Thanks!

    The problem is the encryption and how your notebook handles it rather than a Time Capsule problem. I had similar problems until I updated the WLAN drivers on my IBM T41.
    The way I convinced myself it wasn't an Apple problem was to connect my IBM T41, via ethernet, to my AEBSn. I was able to connect to internet so I knew it was a conflict between my wireless card and the AEBSn.
    I am now using the WPA2 encryption for the AEBS without issue and connecting many different types of hardware; three iPod Touches, two MSI Wind Netbooks (Win XP SP3), one IBM T41 (Win XP SP2) wirelessly and both my 20" iMac and Dell 8250 Win XP (SP2) by ethernet
    The MSI Winds are brand new and they would connect to the AEBSn but couldn't get an IP address from the internet (Limited or No Connectivity error message). The AEBSn was using WEP encryption. After doing a little research I found that WEP was a very common cause of this error message so I switched the AEBSn to WPA2 and everything works fine now.
    Don't assume that because you can't connect via OPEN it isn't a encryption issue because my Winds wouldn't connect that way either...it wasn't until I changed to the WPA2 Personal that they connected.
    You may also need to change the program that handles the WLAN connection, sometimes Windows handles it better but for the newest addition to our household, the MSI Winds, I am using the Realtek utility that matches the WLAN card and everything is hunky dory...
    Finally sometimes firewalls will prevent getting the IP address...doesn't happen often but it has happened to me so I would double-check that by turning off the Windows Firewall and just verify that it isn't the firewall (that's never been a problem with my Apple AEBSn but it was a problem with an older Dlink g model).
