Comments on: How to Convert a Clone CD Image to ISO http://foliovision.com/2008/04/26/clone-cd-to-iso/ Making the web work for you Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:08:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: alec http://foliovision.com/2008/04/26/clone-cd-to-iso/#comment-21055 alec Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:30:52 +0000 http://foliovision.com/2008/04/26/clone-cd-to-iso/#comment-21055 Hello Richard, If you've been upgrading versions of Mac OS X for a few generations (say since 10.3), it's really worth considering doing a full reinstall of everything. A lot of similar problems were cleared up when I finally bit the bullet and started from scratch. You get rid of a lot of dicey preferences files as well. A clean version of 10.5.2 is a very fast and efficient and troublefree OS. Hello Richard,

Eventually it gets easier. This was an ambitious project with which to start exploring the command line. Hello Devin,

For instance, sudo install ccd2iso gave me an unrec. command on sudo, but just "install ccd2iso" seemed to install it fine. Was odd. I did figure out the permission fixing, though. Was just me being silly and trying to write while it was all still read-only. >.>; Thanks for the assist, but I think I'm going to get around this in another way. Command line business seems to be a little too far out of my range. Appreciate the quick response, though! ^.^ Hey Alec,

Are you trying the commands with sudo also: <code>sudo install ccd2iso</code> 2. You seem to be having some issues with paths and permissions. Try repairing permissions in Disk Utility. Otherwise, it looks like the set up on your Mac may be non-standard. Non-standard paths and such can occur from repeatedly doing upgrades (10.2 > 10.3 > 10.4 > 10.5) instead of archive and install or fresh installs. I solved all of these sorts of issues on my own computer by starting with a fresh install of 10.5 and adding all my own files and applications afterwards. It took some time but a lot of annoying issues went away. Hello Devin,

I tried again: Error: Unable to execute port: ln: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/sysutils/ccd2iso/work: Permission denied How do I convince the terminal that I do, in fact, give it permission to do the things I'm telling it to do? It's not asking me for a password or anything, it's just saying "no." What's the deal? So…this is all very much out of my depth and I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, but…

…when I try to ‘install ccd2iso,’ I get the following message:

Error: Unable to execute port: can’t create directory “/opt/local/var/macports/build”: permission denied

I went around this by manually creating a folder called “build” and putting it in that macports folder, which required me to put in a password to authenticate. I tried again:

Error: Unable to execute port: ln: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/sysutils/ccd2iso/work: Permission denied

How do I convince the terminal that I do, in fact, give it permission to do the things I’m telling it to do? It’s not asking me for a password or anything, it’s just saying “no.” What’s the deal?

Beautifully. But getting an obscure Windows disk image format to work on a Mac - there's a lot of steps. Any of them wrong, and you don't get your disk. When you find another ccd disk, give your install another try. Hello Tom,

When you find another ccd disk, give your install another try.

I just found another set of files (in iso) for the same program! It would have been satisfying to get ccd2iso to work, but it was time to cut my losses.

Probably, as otherwise the error would be "image.img not found". This is strange. I had absolutely no problems converting my .img file once I got as far as working version of MacPorts. If your image.img file was corrupted along the way or incorrectly uncompressed at any point, then you would get such an error. Any way to download again or try another source for the same file?
