Here's an article by Apple about root passwords on Mac computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528
What directions are you following to install Solfege? If this is your first time dealing with root passwords, then it seems likely that you may not have all the dependencies you need to install Solfege on Mac. I would recommend that you consider using MacPorts instead. Some instructions are at http://www.solfege.org/Solfege/SolfegeViaMacPorts, though I can't vouch for the bit about "add +quartz and +no_x11 to /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf". I'd just use X Window. One other point is that 3.14.0 was the current version when I wrote the page about compiling Solfege; 3.14.9 should work (or not work) just as well. Let me know if you have any other questions. Though I'm behind on updating the Wiki, I'm always happy to help someone install Solfege on Mac. --Allen McBride On Dec 5, 2009, at 7:54 AM, Ben Abspoel wrote: > Dear People, > > > I tried to install GNU Solfege 3.14.0 on my Mac. > At the point that I type in terminal : " sudo make install" > I am prompted for a password. > > I cannot think of any password I could have made, so perhaps it is one of > yours? > > Can you help me out? > > Thks in advance > > Kind regards > > Ben Abspoel > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, > a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing. > Attend in-depth sessions from your desk.
