How do I change permisson to write on /usr/local/bin??
Hi
I'm installing a software by source (PKG-CONFIG) as needed by bluefish, however which I was doing " Make install" the terminal told me that it can't write on /usr/local/bin/pkg-config......so how do I change the permission so that I can start installing??
Thanks
Chris
Precede the install command with "sudo" and use your password (provided you are an admin). Then the insatller will have permission to write as if you are the "root" user.
eg:
$ sudo install
will run "install" as if run by root - who does have permission to write to the dir.

How to change /usr/bin/grep To /usr/local/bin/grep
Hi
I have installed GNU Grep but when I am giving the command #which grep it is showing me solaris grep i.e /usr/bin/grep.
My question is how do I change it to /usr/local/bin/
Thanks in advance
SukrutYou have a few options:
1) place /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in your PATH environment variable
2) remove /usr/bin/grep altogether
3) move /usr/bin/grep to something else (ie: /usr/bin/solaris/grep) and symlink /usr/bin/grep to /usr/local/bin/grep just in case any hard coded programs/scripts rely on /usr/bin/grep being present.
I prefer step #3 since most of the various gnu utilities are virtually 100% drop-in replacements. -
How do I add /usr/local/bin to path
Hi.
I have installed arch linux on a server.
It seems really very good - manged to install latest snort-inline easily...
However (and this is really a completely NOOB question)
- how do I add /usr/local/bin to the default (root) path ?
I have tried to add
PATH=/usr/local/bin
to /etc/enviornment
But it did not show up when using the - env command (after re-logging in)
I know that I could sym link to /usr/bin but i would like to know.
Any help would be good
Cheers
Last edited by yossarianuk (2008-10-02 10:31:21)There's a place for all three of /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, and ~/bin --- even on Arch.
If you download package whizbang-1.2.3 from some non-Arch site, its installer will often by default try to install its files into the /usr/local hierarchy. When making a PKGBUILD, you want to tell it instead to install into $pkgdir/usr, so that when you install the resulting pkg file with pacman, it goes into the /usr hierarchy. That's what the wiki page is saying: pacman-managed stuff goes into the /usr hierarchy.
/usr/local/* is for files you want to install systemwide without making a PKGBUILD. Your own scripts are a great example. Also you might want to install some compiled files that way, if making a PKGBUILD isn't worth it or you don't have the time to write (*and maintain!*) one.
~/bin is for scripts (could be compiled files too) that you want to only be available to that specific user. -
How to put g95 in usr/local/bin?
Hi all,
I am trying to compile a program called elmerice. When I type the "make compile" command, I get the following message:
elmerf90-nosh -c Solvers/AIFlowSolve_nlD2.f90 -o Solvers/AIFlowSolve_nlD2.o
/usr/local/bin/g95 -O5 -ffast-math -ftree-vectorize -march=nocona -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fomit-frame-pointer -fstrict-aliasing -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -falign-loops -I. -Ibinio -I/Applications/ElmerGUI.app/Contents//share/elmersolver/include -c Solvers/AIFlowSolve_nlD2.f90 -o Solvers/AIFlowSolve_nlD2.o
/Applications/ElmerGUI.app/Contents/bin/elmerf90-nosh: line 18: /usr/local/bin/g95: No such file or directory
I did install (I think successfully) g95 using macports, i.e. the command "sudo port install g95" but apparently it is not in /usr/local/bin, which seems to be where elmerice wants to find it.
One complicating factor might be that /usr/local/bin does have gfortran it.
It seems like elmerice will only use g95. Can I put g95 in the /usr/local/bin directory from wherever I have it now, and if so, how? Or can I just reinstall g95 in that directory?
Thanks,Try creating a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/g95 to wherever MacPorts put it. That is probably the easiest solution. Ideally, you would fix the makefile, but that wouldn't be easy.

How do I delete Unix scripts in /usr/local/bin/
Well, I download a program call mpgtx (mpeg editor). After install, it put all its files to /usr/local/bin/, and there are unix scripts, mpgdemux, mpgcat..etc. So I just wander how I can delete them. Can just do rm mpg* from Terminal?
Pls, help.I don't even HAVE a /usr/local/bin folder on either of my Leopard installs. One install does have a /usr/local folder, but everything in it was installed by the latest version of Privoxy, the other install doesn't have a /usr/local folder at all. So you won't mess up anything from the system. Whether you'll mess up some third party something or other you have installed only you can know. I suspect they probably don't take up much room, you could check that. If the amount of space consumed is trivial, you could just leave them.

How do you change the dvd write speed in pre 11
can i change the dvd write speed i pre 11 and if so how thanks
Not in Premiere Elements.
You'll need to use Premiere Elements to burn the DVD files to a folder, and then use a program like the excellent, free ImgBurn to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a disc at a slower speed. -

How do I change the weather icon to my local weather?
I am new to iPhone and have 2 questions:
1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
Thanks!1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
Select the i circle icon at the bottom right.
Select the + icon at the top right to add a city. Select the red - icon next to a city on the list to remove a city.
Select the icon at the far right of each city to move that city up of down on the list.
Select Done at the top right when finished.
2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
The default icons cannot be removed. The default icons will not have an X to remove them. Only user created web clippings will have the X and can be removed. -

I created a photobook in photoshop elements 9 and selected "print locally". Now I want to send it to a commercial printer and can't figure out how to do so. I have checked with both Shutterfly and Costco, and they want each page sent as a separate picture.... How do I do that?
Hi Margery J,
You are correct, to use a commercial printer you will need to export them as individual pages. To do this, go to File --> Export Photobook:
From there, a window will pop up: make sure "JPEG" is selected as the format and set your destination folder.
Then click OK and you should be all set, your images will save to the selected folder. You can then upload the folder to Shutterfly, Costco or any other commercial printer to have it printed as a booklet.
Please note that each commercial printer and service may have different quality or file format requirements.
Here is a link to a helpful Shutterfly page about booklet printing requirements.

How do I change a mobile account to a local account without server admin?
Our company split into two seperate companies. We moved and the server stayed. All of our machines were on the server and had portable home directories. We no longer connect to a server. And the server we were connected to is no more. So we can't access it at all. Reinstall is not an option.
I want to know if it's possible to change a mobile account back to a local account. Login takes FOREVER!! Is there anyway to fix this.
Whenever I log into my administrator account on the machine, login is very quick.
Are there some preferences I can delete or change? I went into Directory Access on my machine and unchecked the LDAPv3 and all of the other check boxes just to make sure, but it didn't have any effect.
I also tried deleting the "Mirrors" folder, but when I log back in, it's there again.No one knows anything? I just thought it would be some preference file that I need to find and either change or delete.
If anyone knows anything, please reply. The login issue is so frustrating. -

Can I change Read and Write Permissions?
I'm trying to get as much of my old Windows stuff onto my iMac.
It's all stored on a Seagate 300GB External HD that is partitioned 150GB Mac and 150GB Windows NTFS. I can see and copy Folders and Files from the Windows Partition, but cannot delete once copied, this is very inconvenient as it means I have to keep unplugging the hard drive from the iMac and plugging it into my MacBook Pro (with Windoze installed) to remove the Files/Folders I have copied onto the iMac. Does anyone know how I can change the read write permissions on the Windows Partition so that I can copy then delete off it without constantly swapping computers. ThanksUnfortunately, this isn't a permission problem. The thing is, OS X can read NTFS partitions, but not write to them. The only filesystem that both OS X and Windows can both read and write (without third party drivers/apps anyway) is FAT32.

see article 4322Colin,
You may substitute any text you like for the "Placeholder Text", as it is called, in Pages. Click on the existing placeholder text and type something more to your liking. Do this in as many places as your particular template of interest demands. Then, Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
Now that you have defined a Custom Template to your liking, you can go to Pages Preferences and under the General tab's first section, define the new custom template as your default for each new document.
