Components Self-Installer Error!

[Regud]

I keep getting the following error when trying to install the components on my MacBook Pro.

##sh: line 1: sudo: command not found

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Regud

I'm not sure but it seems you must install the BSD subsystem on your Mac before to install ffmpegX and its components.
Have you got it on your Mac ?

I am running OS X 10.4.8 with the factory install. From what I can tell, the BSD Subsystem is always installed with Tiger. I am pretty sure it is installed. I checked Mac HD > Library > Receipts for the BSD.pkg, and the file is there.

If you don't have a file named "sudo" in the hidden directory /usr/bin then your BSD subsystem is missing or incomplete.

Thanks for the help.

The file "sudo" does exist in the directory /usr/bin . Is it possible that the "sudo" file is corrupted or that I need to reinstall the BSD subsystem?

Try to open Terminal.app and type "sudo", followed by Return, what do you get?

[Regud]

usage: sudo -K | -L | -V | -h | -k | -l | -v
usage: sudo [-HPSb] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid]
{ -e file [...] | -i | -s | <command> }

That is correct, strange. I don't see what it can be as the script merely runs a sudo command to authenticate, followed by some mkdir and cp commands to copy files. Are you able to boot from an external disk with a fresh OSX?

I just created a new user account that is able to administer the computer, and was able to install the components under that login. It appears that I have changed some setting in my user account (also set to administer computer) that is preventing me from installing the components under my login. I know that I have set the root password so that I could configure the PATH for Ant and Java to compile my programs. Do you have any suggestions for checking my user settings?
