Last week, when I am trying to install gcc_select on my macbook, I went through several commands,I did remember I just cd to a certain directory and made some modifications using the root. Everything seems fine, however, I found that when I open the terminal and trying to compile a program by using gcc or g++, it keeps saying that the "command not found".I have to manually to type the :" export PATH=$PATH:/Developer/usr/bin" in order to make the gcc or g++ command run.
My question is , is there anyone please tell me how to permanently change that, so that I don't need to type the same command again and again.
Append
export PATH=$PATH:/Developer/usr/bin
in the .profile file in your home directory. If it does not exit, create it. Better way would be the one user57368 gave in the comment though.

I am trying to do cd command and i can see there is not change in path after that,not knowing what is the reason
I checked workarounds available in internet telling to give whole path,use alias etc but nothing worked out ,when i try manually doing cd its working and i tried giving this command in other dummy script there its working
But in my shell script even if i create one director and try to change also its not happening,code is actually getting stuck there and not going to other lines
Please suggest me what else i can so with this
I had MAFFT running fine on my computer (MacOS 11.6), until I downloaded PRANK (a probabilistic multiple alignment program distributed by Wasabi) which also runs on its own MAFFT Unix executable file. The original MAFFT is located in the directory /usr/local/bin, and PRANK and its associated files live in another directory called /programs/prank/bin, both of which are in my $PATH variable, with the /usr/local/bin directory having priority. Now, not only is the MAFFT within PRANK giving the error below when I type the ‘prank’ command, but I also get this error when trying to use my original version of MAFFT by typing ‘mafft.’ Deleting my original MAFFT and only using the PRANK version does not fix things. If I fully delete PRANK and MAFFT and redownload MAFFT alone, I can get it to work again.
I’ve tried all the steps listed in the error output below. My $MAFFT_BINARIES file appears to be empty or nonexistent, and there is no MAFFT_BINARIES line in my .bash_profile or any of the other settings files listed.
Does anyone have any insight into what may be causing this or how I should go about fixing it? Has anyone experienced the same conflicts with PRANK? Please let me know if I can provide any additional information about my system or set-up that would be helpful. As you might be able to guess, I'm not particularly experienced in this level of digging around in the guts of my file directories, but I know just enough to get myself into trouble...
Error: Initial alignment with Mafft failed. The output generated was:
v7.490 != v7.450 (2019/Aug/23)
There is a problem in the configuration of your shell.
Check the MAFFT_BINARIES environmental variable by
$ echo $MAFFT_BINARIES
This variable must be *unset*, unless you have installed MAFFT
with a special configuration. To unset this variable, type
$ unset MAFFT_BINARIES
or
% unsetenv MAFFT_BINARIES
Then retry
$ mafft input > output
To keep this change permanently, edit setting files
(.bash_profile, .profile, .cshrc, etc) in your home directory
to delete the MAFFT_BINARIES line.
On MacOSX, also edit or remove the .MacOSX/environment.plist file
and then re-login (MacOSX 10.6) or reboot (MacOSX 10.7).
Please send a problem report to katoh#ifrec.osaka-u.ac.jp,
if this problem remains.
I am trying to execute a Makefile script and my Mac complains about 7zcat, although I already have 7z installed.
/bin/sh: 7zcat: command not found
Any thoughts on what's missing on my system? Thank you!
I have never used 7zcat before.
However, it looks like it needs to be installed on your system.
https://github.com/essentialkaos/7zcat
Also, after you download install 7zcat you have to give it execute permission with chmod. Finally, you have to execute it by calling its full path for example if you installed it to the directory you are in you would run ./7zcat file.7z or you would add the path to the file to your environment's $PATH variable.
I hope this helps. You might have to do some more research though.
When you open a Terminal window and type 7zcat and hit enter, what happens? Same message? Well, if you cannot use it, why should make be able to use it? Where and how have you installed 7z? Is the folder with the 7z binaries in your PATH? Since if it isn't, of course the command won't be found.
When the system shall run a command, it will search for this command in the directories stored in the PATH variable. Execute echo $PATH in terminal and you will get a colon separated list of directories; only these directories are searched for binaries. So either you must move your binaries to one of these (or put a symlink to one of these) or add the directory with these binaries to the PATH.
Yet there is no official 7z command line installer for MacOS, which brings me back to the original questions "Where and how have you installed 7z?" And are you sure that whatever you installed even includes a 7zcat?
First of all, I would like to apologize if I'm on the wrong stackexchange network, and secondly, sorry if I'm overlooking something simple.
I was moving files from my old hard drive from an old PC when I came across several password protected ZIP Files. However, since those files were a bit old, I forgot the passwords already. I tried every password I could come up with but I still came up empty. After several google searches, I found this tool/utility for Mac OS X that could help me. So I go to the downloads page and download the Mac OSX utility tool and the source code.
However, I am having problems executing the make command for the file. It says on the downloads page:
If you are using linux or another unix, you need to download the source code, uncompress it and type "make" to compile the utility.
So far, what I've tried is
$make /Users/myname/Downloads/aapr-0.01-source/Makefile
I have also tried the other files in the source folder but nothing worked. After that, I'm pretty much blank. I tried double clicking the aapr file in the utility download for Mac (which is a Unix Executable) and it opens a new terminal window displaying the commands and such. Also, doing $aapr [options] [filename] only shows me -bash: aapr: command not found. I also updated XCodes command line tools.
Sorry if I'm missing out on something very basic, I don't usually use the terminal on the OS X.
Try running
cd /Users/myname/Downloads/aapr-0.01-source
make
A Makefile contains rules for building files from other files but it is based on paths and contents, etc. which depend on your current location. So generally you need to be in the directory of the project for it to work.
Edit (copied from my comment):
To execute a command from a specific location (that isn't in the normal $PATH) you need to specify a path for it. So something like /bin/bash or ./aapr (where ./ means the current directory).
I used addpath(pwd) to get my .m files working in my projects directory. When I close the window and start a new window, the path I just added is gone. But the files still run.
Is it in my path or not? How do I see the directories I have added to my path?
Also, . is the first entry I see from path. Does that mean I don't need to add any directories because it will always search the current directory first?
Thanks.
Basically, yes.
You can add a directory to the search path using addpath(), but as you know, it only exists for the current session and is reset when you restart Octave. If you want a path to survive between sessions, add it to your octaverc, a script file that gets run whenever a new session gets started. Example path to octaverc file is:
C:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\site\m\startup
Since . is in your path by default, Octave will search your current directory for any function files that it needs. Using addpath(pwd) is somewhat useless if you're just going to stay in the same directory. However, there are some cases where it'd be useful, if for example you have a directory that contains your functions, and another one that has the data that you're working on: you could start in the functions directory, do addpath(pwd), and then cd to the data directory while still being able to use your functions.
You can create batch file, which will start Octave with your directory path. Please see example below:
octave-3.6.4.exe -p "C:\MyOctaveDiretory"
-p means addpath()
addpath(pwd); savepath();
Done.
I think there is a bug in Octave (I use version 4.0.3 on Windows). When I create a new file in current path, this can't be called by Octave ("error: 'foo' undefined near line 1 column 1"). If I restart Octave, it works. This addpath(pwd) trick helps me a lot (before I unsuccessfully tried rehash() and cd elsewhere and back again).
If you had the same problem, the reason for the symptom might be:
Start Octave.
Create newfile.m.
Call newfile - fails since Octave did not register its existence.
addpath(pwd) - causes Octave to register it.
Close Octave
Start Octave - now pwd is gone from path, but newfile.m is registered at startup.
call newfile - works
I faced a similar problem in adding path where the path was added by using addpath command directly in Octave GUI (Command Window). The path added was being shown in console window but none of the functions worked.
The problem was solved by changing the path directory from Windows directory to some other direction where OS is not installed.
