Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So who's using virtualization software for the Mac. I've used Parallels for the Mac, but I don't think I've used the latest version. But I've heard VMWare is really good too.

I use Parallels and I like it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That was me. I think I'm about to buy this one:

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I used Parallels when it first came out. When I had my major HD crash last year (or 18 months ago...whenever), the tech guy asked did I have a dual boot machine. I said yes. He asked, had I been doing a lot of virtual machine stuff. Ya, with dual screen, it works great. He mentioned he had seen an increase in HD failures since Parallels came out. Anecdotal evidence? Actual cause/effect? I dunno. I haven't reinstalled it since. I'll do the dual boot, if I need to play in windows.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Anyone use git? Actually, this may be more of a generic unix question. I installed git on my shared server using the instructions here. Namely,

cd ~/                          
test -d ~/src || mkdir ~/src   
cd ~/src                       
curl -O [link]
tar -xvzf git-1.6.3.1.tar.gz   
cd git-1.6.3.1 
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

It all seemed to run fine -- no errors. But when type "git" on the shell command prompt, I get the response "git: command not found". This happens even if I'm in the bin folder where I can clearly see that there's an executable (755) file called "git". What am I missing?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Try /usr/local/bin/git

The equivalent of that on my server is

/hsphere/local/home/wobbly/bin/git

and that DID work!

Now what?

You need to edit your .profile and add /usr/local/bin to your PATH.
