Re: Installation problem with GNAT GPL 2009

Hi,

I just downloaded the GNAT GPL 2009 and was trying to install it on my
Mac (10.5.7). My first installation was unsuccessful. My carelessness
for not the error properly and the install.log was been overwritten by
the following installation. But I recall during the process, almost
all files inside the package were compiled with the message: file has
been changed as read (something like that). Later, I tried to install
again, but it failed to create the directories such as /bin, /lib, /
libexec, /include with messages like:

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
tar: include: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied

And I think because of this error, all the files inside the directory
cannot be open:
tar: include/c++: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory
tar: include/c++/4.3.4: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory
tar: include/c++/4.3.4/algorithm: Cannot open: No such file or
directory
tar: include/c++/4.3.4/array: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: include/c++/4.3.4/backward: Cannot mkdir: No such file or
directory
tar: include/c++/4.3.4/backward/auto_ptr.h: Cannot open: No such file
or directory
tar: include/c++/4.3.4/backward/backward_warning.h: Cannot open: No
such file or directory

or directory
tar: include/c++/4.3.4/backward/hash_fun.h: Cannot open: No such file

tar: include/c++/4.3.4/backward/strstream: Cannot open: No such file
or directory
tar: include/c++/4.3.4/bits: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory
... (and many more)

At the end, these messages appear:

/usr/gnat/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/install-tools/mkheaders -
v -v /usr/gnat
make: /usr/gnat/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/install-tools/
mkheaders: Command not found
make: *** [ins-basic] Error 127

Is it because of the first installation, which the files have been
changed, that they cannot be opened now? What should I do? Please
advise. Thanks in advance and I apologize if my question sounds too
n00b.

Allison

Hi Allison,

Did you just try and run the install from your user account? If so,
you probably don't have permissions to write to /usr.

From memory, I opened as shell window, cd-ed to the folder containing
the installion scripts, etc and ran something like "sudo ./install".

Cheers
