Hi folks,
Ubuntu 7.04 lamp server amd64
xfont-intl-chinese
I encountered problem on installing the captioned package which has to be installed on /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
/usr/lib/X11 already existed
$ sudo mkdir -R /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
Code:
mkdir: invalid option -- R
Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
The option -R was not available.
$ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
No complaint
$ ls -al /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
Code:
