camorri Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm can not create a symbolic link to a directory. I have read, and re-read the man page. I can not get it right. What is the trick? I have tried: ln -s --target-directory=linux-2.6.33.7-desktop-1mnb ln: missing file operand Try `ln --help' for more information. Operand is missing? O.K. so I tried, ln -s --target-directory=linux-2.6.33.7-desktop-1mnb linux This didn't work as I expected either. It created a link called 'linux' in the target directory, not in the directory I was in. I need a command that will create a sym link to the target, called linux, in the directory I'm in. The old link is pointing to the wrong source for the current kernel, and I can not get vboxdrv to compile. Your help is always appreciated...

K Bergen Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 You're over thinking it. Try ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.7-desktop-1mnb /usr/src/linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
