installing apache ANT, can't create /usr/local/ant folder per ANT's manual
Hello all,
I am trying to install ant (from binary) per the directions in the user manual. It says to create a folder called ant at /usr/local/ant. However when I try to create the directory I am given an insufficient privileges error. I am the sole user and administrator of my system so I am somewhat surprised by this. But this is the newbie forum after all... I am using the newest openSUSE distro on a MacBook. I just finished the install last night. I have been using openSUSE at my university computer lab for about a year, but I am new to actually administrating a system. I looked at previous threads regarding ant installs but could not find the answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Jon |

or do you have 11.4 suse uses "sudo " , though i do NOT use "su -" without the "" Code:
su - that is to add the non standard system $PATH usr/local is a somewhat non standard "standard" directory HOWEVER using "zypper " is the BEST way to install a prebuilt binary program use the rpm in the repos ! Code:
