Everything in a user's account sound be owned by that user. Your comment seems to indicate that you intend to change the ownership of ~mcidas/.cshrc back to root after I poke around. You should _not_ do this. >I did finally get the make command to >work and it seemed to build the mcx, however I ran through the testing >procedure and couldn't get mcidas to run. I am betting on permissions/ownership. Please see below. >So again, I'm stuck. I believe >everything in the account setup for mcidas is set correctly, although if >you think soemthing needs to be changed I can log on as root and change >it. This will be needed. Please keep reading. Here goes. I logged on and immediately was confronted with the following error message: set: Variable name must begin with a letter. This indicates that something in your .cshrc file was wrong. At this point I couldn't edit .cshrc since I had no PATH. I manually set the path so that vi could be found and edited .cshrc. Here is what I found: At the end of the file, you had: set path=C$path /opt/SUNWspro/bin set path=C$path /usr/ccs/bin This should have been: set path=($path /opt/SUNWspro/bin) set path=($path /usr/ccs/bin) I changed it; exited vi; and then made the .cshrc settings active: source .cshrc Now I have a workable environment. The next thing I did was to list out the ownership of everything in the top level directory: pele 11% ls -alt total 90192 -rw-r----- 1 mcidas other 3656 May 16 12:11 .cshrc drwxr-xr-x 13 mcidas staff 512 May 15 20:02 .dt/ drwxr-x--x 17 mcidas staff 1024 May 15 20:00 ./ drwx------ 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 20:00 .solregis/ -rw------- 1 mcidas staff 98 May 15 20:00 .Xauthority -rw-r----- 1 root other 3625 May 15 19:59 .cshrc% drwxr-xr-x 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 19:51 .hotjava/ drwxr-xr-x 11 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:09 mcidas7.7/ drwxr-xr-x 3 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 data/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 help/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 inc/ drwxr-xr-x 3 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 lib/ drwxr-xr-x 3 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 man/ drwxr-xr-x 3 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 mcidas/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 savedata/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 tcl/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 workdata/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 admin/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mcidas staff 512 May 15 13:05 bin/ -rw-r----- 1 mcidas other 9597 May 15 13:00 mcinet7.7.sh -rwxr-x--x 1 mcidas other 3090 May 15 13:00 mcinstall* -rw-r----- 1 mcidas other 45678969 May 15 13:00 mcidasx770.tar.Z -rw-r----- 1 mcidas other 15679 May 15 12:59 WHATSNEW.77X -rw-r----- 1 mcidas other 919 May 15 12:59 README -rw-r----- 1 mcidas other 239969 May 15 12:59 MAY00PRG.TXT -rw-r----- 1 mcidas other 65768 May 15 12:59 MAY00INQ.TXT -rw-r----- 1 mcidas other 73132 May 15 12:59 CHANGES.770 drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 512 May 11 13:50 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 root other 693 May 10 18:06 .mcenv -rwxr-xr-x 1 mcidas staff 5111 May 10 15:59 .dtprofile* Note that some things are owned by 'mcidas' with a group of 'staff' (this matches the entry in /etc/passwd), and other things are owned by 'mcidas' with group 'other'.
