Re: problems with mac

[Alan Mead]

Julia,

I noticed that your email from yesterday doesn't seem to have been answered on list. 

I don't know much about Macs but if you get 'command not found' after executing a command with sudo, it means that the command (ports?) has been mistyped or has to be installed.  When I get an error like that, I usually google the command and the error and I can often piece together a solution from those results. Does the post below help?

I have no idea where a Mac puts downloaded files; is there a way to search your computer for a file?  If you are using a terminal command (like wget) to download a file, I should think it would download to the local folder where you executed the command.

I'm sorry I don't know more about Macs. If your Macs have the ability to execute Windows applications, you could install the Windows version, which tends to be straightforward.

I am using PSPP for the students in my class. Some of the mac users are having trouble with 

downloading the program. After entering the password (after the sudo) command it states 'command not found’;

Also when I tried to download the newer version today terminal states that it has been downloaded but I cannot find 

the icon to open it anywhere. Any thoughts?
