Thanks for reply Steve. Yes I seen the section about symbolic linking on the django website. It says on the website to type this command....
"ln -s WORKING-DIR/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/ bin" which I did(replacing WORKING_DIR obviously with the right path), but I'm not sure what "/usr/local/bin" is supposed to point to or what path should this be exactly?
