Symbolic link to program that is going to be installed
 
Hello,

I'm trying to install a program but get an error because of insufficient free space. The solution is create a symbolic link to folder /home2. I already did this once, but cannot remember how..

The default folder of the program is /usr/local/program .. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

Code:
# mkdir /home2/program
# ln -s /home2/program /usr/local/program

colucix,

Thank you :) Don't know why but I was really convinced that it was ln -s /usr/local/X /home2/program .. Anyway, that's working now :)
