hi all,
This is the first time I have posted a question, so if I break some kind of ediquite, please forgive me.
Ok, so I have a box with SuSE and JavaDesktop (built on a SuSE kernal) and I am trying to make it so I can install a program on my SuSE partition, and then run it in the JavaDesktop. I have tried this via a shell and I get a "permission denied" error. I have checked the permissions on the files and they include "x", but no dice.
any suggestions?
Use the 'su -' command to switch to root.
For the 'put programs on SuSE partition', you can:
(easier)
move the JDS /usr/local folder to the suse partition (say, to /path/to/suse/jdslocal)
Make a link to it:
ln -s /path/to/suse/local /usr/local
Then install the programs you want to go to the suse partition to the JDS /usr/local
Or:
Make /path/to/suse/local, link to it, and add it to your PATH.
yes, I am using the "su" option, still getting errors.
I just noticed that I posted this thread twice, sorry about that, I thought one of my attempts had failed.
