Re: [Alsa-user] TKLA help

[bent]

Thanks for your replies... I'm almost positive that I did run the install script as root. (Would it have really gone through the whole process if I wasn't root?) Well, it's a moot point anyway 'cuz I tried it again and this time it seems to have worked... at least all the things I've looked for so far seem to be there. Now I just need to work on getting more comfortable with the command line so I can really take advantage of all this stuff. Thanks again... especially for all your hard work putting this together.

Thanks for the tip, but I forgot to mention that I'd
already tried that... And I just tried it again... no dice. The
installation did not do anything... other than run about a bazillion
lines of text by me for 45 minutes. Do I need to put the TKLA folder
somewhere special?

The installation does nothing more than install
dependencies, then building associated applications
from sources. There is no turnkey directory.
All of the dependencies and apps are installed in the
/usr/local tree (lib, bin), so to locate them, all you
should have to do is "ls /usr/local/bin". If nothing
is there, then there is another problem.

I suspect this is simply a permissions issue. Running
the app as a normal user cannot install to the system
directories.

(oh, and one other question: I don't know why /sbin
and /usr/sbin aren't in my path by default, but I'm getting tired of
adding them... how can I add them permanently? In other words, I add them by
doing "export PATH=$PATH:/sbin/usr/sbin" but then the next time I
reboot that's gone.

What shell are you using? Once you get the TKLA stuff
going (which assumes /sbin/tsch), the path is set in
/usr/llocal/lib/ecmcaliases.csh, as are the aliases
for each installed app. This file is sourced whenever
you open a new tsch shell (once you get things
installed!).

If you are using another shell the PATH can be set in
a number of places (per user or globally), but must be
made permanent in a config file or it will be lost
each time you close a shell.
