Problems with compiling / installing compiler
Tiptoe:
Hey, I'm trying to get rockbox onto my gogear 6330 and I'm having a few problems. It's pretty much my first time using any type of linux based OS and I can't seem to get a certain part to work.
Basically, I've managed to get to step 8 in this guide http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/GoGearHDD6330#Installation_steps_for_HDD63x0 and then I get errors that tell me that the arm-elf compiler or something along those lines is not in the path so it's an improper command. After searching a bit and finding this http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CrossCompiler , I saw that I apparently had to run the shell script in the rockbox/tools directory but when I try to do this I get the message:
ROCKBOXDEV: No write permission for /usr/local
Just wondering how I would go about fixing this since I don't really know much at all about debian.
Also the shell script is rockboxdev.sh
saratoga:
try 'sudo ./rockboxdev.sh'.

I'm running debian through vmware and I get that sudo doesn't work. I tried to use "su" though but after typing "su ./rockboxdev.sh" I still get an error(not on my main computer at the moment so I can't say exactly what the error was because I'm just going off memory of what I did a few hours ago). Also thanks for the link, I'll check it out sometime tomorrow when I have time go get back on my main.

If you want help, you should say what happened in more detail then "doesn't work".

That's not the correct syntax for su. If you want to run a command directly with su, you need to use the -c option, i.e. "su -c ./rockboxdev.sh". Or switch to a root shell first ("su -", enter password when asked, then run rockboxdev.sh)
Please also check the man page of su(1).
