I will repeat what others have said -- it is preferable -- MUCH preferable -- to put the KEMAR files into the USER application support directory, not into the System application support directory. (The extension that you're using might require them to be put in the system location -- in that case, it would be a badly written extension and the author should be notified to fix it.) Then the next step is to configure SuperCollider to look for those files in the given location. That isn't a puredyne specific question -- the SuperCollider users mailing list would be better -- but there are enough SuperCollider users here that we can certainly help you with that. I haven't done anything (yet) with HRTF and I don't recall off the top of my head which SC extension uses them. But, if you could tell us which extension you're trying to set up, then we could help. > ailo, > if i write sudo cp -r KemarHRTF /usr/share/SuperCollider/KemarHRTF > after entering password i got > cp: missing destination file operand after KemarHRTF > /usr/share/SuperCollider/KemarHRTF > whats that? maybe sudo cp -r KemarHRTF /usr/share/SuperCollider ... because what you want to do is put the whole directory KemarHRTF into the SuperCollider directory -- so the result files would be e.g. SuperCollider/KemarHRTF/a_file.aiff. I think your command is trying to give you SuperCollider/KemarHRTF/KemarHRTF/a_file.aiff... which will work only if an empty directory SuperCollider/KemarHRTF already exists (I assume it does not). But anyway, IMO, this is all going down the wrong road. (Side note... usually you get better help from mailing lists if you provide context about what it is that you're trying to do and give specifics. The question here was "how do I copy files into /usr/share/SuperCollider?" but the REAL question is "how do I configure XYZ extension to work on my machine?" By asking the first question instead of the second, it's probably going to take longer to get you a good answer.)
