Title: CPUMiner (Minerd) for OS X
Post by: Naitsrk on December 17, 2013, 09:03:57 PM
Hey guys,

I've followed that tutorial making sure to keep all of the version numbers of xcode, macports, Downloaded the plugins for xcode, Got all of the other plugins in terminal, Copied minerd to my usr/bin folder, everything I can think of.

But STILL, when i try to run a command on minerd, i get Permission Denied until i type sudo
Once I type sudo, i get command not found. I've spent a good week trying to figure it out on my own. Does anybody have any ideas on why i'm getting this error?

You probably didn't make it executable.   

Try: sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/minerd
