Just to be clear: sudo chmod a+rx/usr/local/* didn't work, but sudo zsh chmod -R 755 /usr/local did work? Frankly, I don't get that, since the first command should insure that everyone has (at least) read and execute permission (i.e., level 5). I think that I'll add a trouble-shooting section to the Rcmdr Mac installation notes, but I would like to understand why one approach worked here and not the other. Best, John
Hi John: That makes sense. sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/* does not descend into the subdirectories. To make that work, you need sudo chmod -R a+rx /usr/local
