[9fans] 9vx on MacOS X: problem with contrib

[9fans] 9vx on MacOS X: problem with contrib

[Semka Novikov]

Hi there, i'm newbie in Plan 9 so may be this is common mistake (but i
still can't google it).
I have Intel mac with 10.6 OSX and 9vx from official site. Also I have
plan9.tar.bz from this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/9fans@9fans.net/msg02125.html. Plan9 user
is "glenda", OSX user is "semka", but if i "touch test; ls -l test" it
have "semka" as owner.

Every time I trying to install contrib it falls with "Permission
denied" errors.
There is log:

term% /n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/rc/bin/contrib/install fgb/contrib
...
error: copying /386/bin/contrib/cat: '/386/bin/contrib/cat' Permission denied
error: copying /386/bin/contrib/create: '/386/bin/contrib/create'
Permission denied
error: copying /386/bin/contrib/gui: '/386/bin/contrib/gui' Permission denied
error: copying /386/bin/contrib/install: '/386/bin/contrib/install'
Permission denied
error: copying /386/bin/contrib/list: '/386/bin/contrib/list' Permission denied
error: copying /386/bin/contrib/local: '/386/bin/contrib/local'
Permission denied
...

And so on, I can send full contrib-install log if needed.
Sorry for, may be, too noob question (:

ron got around this on linux.

best bet is to run this under ktrace/strace or whatever you use on a
mac nowadays and let us get a look at it.

Funny, when I run 9vx.OSX under dtrace and collect about 48mb of log
contrib was successfuly installed.
I can send .gz archive of 48mb dtrace log (about 1mb).

Heh, I know why. dtrace needs superuser previlegies, so 9vx.OSX war
ran under root => no permission problems.

What you could do is start the process up as you, then attach it with
dtrace (I assume this works as it does on strace), then trace it from
there. Kill the replica at the first EPERM.
