If I'm reading the above right, it looks like you're trying to run the source code for fgjs. This is unlikely to work with C++ :-) You want to find the fgjs "binary" (compiled program) ideally. This will be in a "bin" directory, along with fgfs. Can you search your computer for the file fgfs? Have a look at the "bin" folder it's in, and see if there isn't also a fgjs. If there really isn't a fgjs binary supplied with the 0.9.8 mac version, you'd need to compile the source files it seems you've found to get a working executable. This could be a bit adventurous for someone who hadn't done that sort of thing before... I'll perhaps see if I can lay my hands on a Mac to check the situation for you sometime if you're still stuck. > I think it's because I'm not at the root level ?

The reason you're getting "permission denied" is likely that the cxx file you're trying to execute is not an executable, does not therefore have execute permissions set and so you can't execute it. Being root in this case wouldn't help. Hope you made some sense out of the above, AJ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
