I seem to be having trouble with terminal apps. When i try and run them I always get "Permission Denied" - unles they are the core apps like netstat. Anything, like ffmpeg and such, give an error. How would I change this?
 
permissions are apparently screwed up... you don't have enough privileges to run them applications. Insert OS X CD and run disk utility's permission repair on the boot volume... can't do no harm:)
 
Sorry after reading the "Read before you post" i then forgot to do it...

Any way, my account is the admin account. The root (or SU) account is setup. I am not using fink. I know how to change my gid by why would that help? I'll try the repair privs but i did that recently and have not changed much.
 
I recently installed ffmpeg on my machine. After you install it you'll have to use "chmod" to set permissions so that you can execute the program.
I have the executable placed in /usr/bin. After CD'ing to the folder that it's in type "sudo chmod 755 filename" Hit enter
then type "rehash" and Hit enter again
After that you should be able to execute ffmpeg from any folder on your HD.
