Question Access Denied Problem : Moving A File To usr/lib Help Please


Hi, as you can see i have a question to ask. I'd really appreaciate someone to help me out on this. I've been trying to move a file that i downloaded called "libfmod-3.61.so" to the /usr/lib directory where it belongs. I need this file there for a game to work. (Racing Simulator - www.racer.nl) The problem is whenever i try to copy or move the file there is says "Access Denied To /usr/lib/libfmod-3.61.so" The file im trying to move is located at my home directory. I tried loggin in as root but it didnt solve the problem. Please help me.

you will have to login as root.

That should solve the problem.

Please give more details about what happens when you login as root

use the command 'ls -l /usr' on your console.check the attributes (first column) for lib.Should be something like 'drwxr-rx-x .. .. .. 2003 lib'.check for 'w' (drwxr or something like that) in the first section.If its not there then root does not have write access.use chmod to change the mode

If you're using Konqueror to do the deed then you're not using the superuser mode.
From the KDE (start) button go to System>More Programs>File Manager-SuerUser Mode. After you do the password you can do anything you want.

If you're using BASH, do su + password then the copy command.

If neither works then look at the permissions for the folder and make it writeable.

ok... I have managed to download this file, but new version 3.73 and I have copied it in correct directory. Since I was quite lasy to search through the racer scripts, I have made a symlink to 3.73 (named it libfmod-3.61.so) and game now starts, but with no sound.

any thought on this?

OS: Slackware 10
