macOS permission denied

[lionceau]

Hi,

I tried to install g95 using this help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157488
but when I try to create a symbolic link to /bin I get "permission denied" on the screen. Can somebody help me? thanks

Probably need to use sudo:

sudo ln -s ...

It works for almost anything for which you are initially denied:

XKCD always appeals to my sense of humour 🙂.

Thanks, it works!
But now I have another problem. I looked in /bin and g95 is present but I cannot use it. When I just write "g95" he says "command not found". So I also create a symbolic link in /usr/bin but it still doesn't work....

did you find an answer to this? i'm having the same problem!

Type this command:

ls -l /bin/g95

It should give you something like this:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 30 Dec 7 22:19 /bin/g95 -> /path/to/g95

Make sure that the file that the link points to ("/path/to/g95" in this case) actually exists.
