Permission denied

[Idris S Hamid]

Hi guys,

just reinstalled things, and eomega plus gamma gives me the following:

This is e-Omegak, Version 3.14159--1.15--2.1 (Web2c 7.4.5)
 %&-line parsing enabled.
Copyright (c) 2002 the e-Omega task force
eomega.exe: context.fls: Permission denied

Any idea what I'm missing?

best
Idris

No. This looks like a system(Web2C)-dependent issue, though: AFAIK
neither ConTeXt nor eOmega themselves look for *.fls files (I
don't even know what .fls stands for ...) What happens with
Lambda?

I think I found the problem:

I backed up some stuff on a cd; when I transferred the files to my other
computer all the file properties read "read-only", so whenever eomega tried
to modify a temporary file (fls, log, etc) it was denied permission.

Is there a way in windows to globally change every file in a given directory
from read-only?

Apparently, texexec and eomega each creates fls files on each run.
context.fls lists the installation directories, etc.

If all the files are in the same directory, just select them
all, right click and deselect the read-only attribute.
Otherwise, get the shareware filemanager "Total Commander" from
www.ghisler.com; it has a "flat" view that allows you to see
all files in all subdirectories of a particular directory and
manipulate them all together.

Or if you have an interest, you can install the Cygnus tools and from
the command line do,

  cd my_directory
  find . ! -perm -0200 -print0 | xargs -0 chmod u+w

... which says, find everything under this subdirectory that doesn't
have write permission for the file owner, and turn on write permission
for the file owner on those files.

Thnx Ed and Giuseppe 4 your help & direction.

Question: When backing up to cd is there any way to maintain write-permission upon
retransfer to hard disk? I use Nero for back-up. This is getting off-topic I
know...

Best & thnx

No because the read-only attribute is set at time of copying
from CD, not of writing TO the CD. It's an operating system,
uhm, 'feature'.
