Hi.
While attempting to compile a program and experiencing frustration (*s*) it was suggested that I create a symlink with the following command:
sudo ln -s /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6
I am a newbie to unix so I am a bit confused and want to remove this link. However, since /usr/x11r6 is also a folder I am worried that I might delete or cause problem is enter this command:
sudo rm /usr/x11r6
When I check for the symlink with ls -ld /usr/x11r6 the output is
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Oct 30 2009 /usr/x11r6 -> X11
This is also confusing since I did not create this link in 2009 but just a few days ago. So, will the following command delete the link without affecting the /uxr/x11r6 folder?
sudo rm /usr/x11r6
Also, what does the date above refer too?
Thanks for any help.
