A repair at the apple stored messed up my permissions

I noticed they downgraded my computer from from 10.6.8 to 10.6.3 and uninstalled a lot of stuff like xcode. This was all part of some diagnostic for my computer to eliminate a software problem apparently. I just wanted to compile a stupid program with allegro I find I have to use sudo to use g++ to use -L/usr/local/lib and this is after trying sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/lib. I try to use cmake to reinstall allegro after it turns out that the original install is screwed up somehow. cmake runs an initial test on gcc and it fails. I re-installed xcode from the 10.6 cd I got 2 years ago.

terminal:

jason-danckss-macbook:build Jason$ cmake ..

fyi and the funny thing is besides downgrading my computer all they ended up doing is replacing the topcase.

I guess I'm open to input but really I'm just venting.

I'll try to use Clang instead I'll post back.

You have a Time Machine backup, don't you?

I don't think Time Machine existed in 10.6.x. I thought that was a 10.7 feature.

Anyway, to the O.P., it looks like you're going to have to re-produce whatever custom setup you had before. Looks like the XCode Command-Line tools aren't installed correctly. You'll have to go into the settings menu and make sure they are activated. Of course, that may be difficult since you'll have an older version of XCode. Not sure if it's still supported or not.

Time machine didnt only exist in 10.6 AND 10.7, but it was a new feature in 10.5 Leopard.

It went:

10.5 Leopard
10.6 Snow Leopard
10.7 Lion
10.8 Mountain Lion

I don't use Time Machine. oops.

I was able to fix some of the problems by re-enabling root and unlocking some system folders. Still doesn't work completely right. Problem is I set it up such a long time ago I don't remember what I have to do.

Don't forget to document what you do this time around.

Edit: and keep that document backed up somewhere.
