If I had suggested
rm -Rf /
to solve your problem, would you have tried it too?

    If I had suggested...

    My linux knowledge might be bad...but it's not that bad 😜

    So...not unless I was testing whether my backup regime was a success and I had a lot of faith that it was!

      Maybe you are missing my point. Obviously you followed bliako's possibly very helpful suggestion without understanding.

        I think that response was in the hope that they may have read but not execute permissions, clutching at straws and inadvisable as it may seem.

        Maybe I am missing the point...
        I had already considered attempting to 'install' a copy of a compiler in a directory which I can access. What I didn't know is where the existing compiler might be located so when bliako suggested using cp I followed his idea knowing that ~/bin already existed, I didn't try the mkdir command. I also think that there are only two outcomes from cp - it makes a copy of the file or it complains that it is not possible.

        Given that I was pretty sure I couldn't do any harm with cp I thought I'd give it a go. But, had it worked, I would have consulted either the Great God Google or the Monastery or both before going further as I am not sure I fully understand what export does.

        Have I got the point or am I missing it?
