ls -ld /usr/local/bin/

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 1536 dec 2 15:14 /usr/local/bin/

 

ls -ld /usr/local/

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 1536 dec 2 15:14 /usr/local/

Hi Gopi,
Could you make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH? Try

echo $PATH

You should get a colon-separated list of directories. If /usr/local/bin
is not there, then we have a problem. I shouldn't think this is root
problem, however, as it doesn't say it cannot find guile-config, but
that permission is denied.

Maybe the permissions on /usr/local/bin or /usr/local are wrong. Could
you check the permissions on those directories as well? (use ls -ld so
you get the directory instead of its contents)

Try running

/usr/local/bin/guile-config

directly yourself. See if you can do that without running the script.

Beyond that, I'm stumped. Anyone else got any ideas?

Regards,
Jon
