Hi,
I have a student having problems getting Csound installed on his OSX laptop.
As I'm not intimiately familiar with the details of OSX, I figured I
could ask for some hints in trying to unravel the issue.
When he runs the installer (6.06) all seems fine and the installer
reports success. However, trying "csound" in a terminal afterwards
does not work, the command is not found. It seems the Framework is
installed, at least there is something there. Not sure how to verify
that everything is there? where should the csound binary reside?
He reports having had similar issues with earlier versions of OSX on
the same laptop, so I suspect something is odd with the system. Even
so, it would be convenient to help him get Csound working on the
machine.
All tips appreciated.

It is probably the case that his /usr/local/bin is not in the PATH.

He should add 

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

to the .profile file in his user directory.
Create that file if it does not exit. Then log out and in again. It should work.

Thanks for the tip, that wold make sense, but /usr/local/bin is in his path.
One oddity when I tried to go to that directory to list the contents
cd /usr/local/bin
returned 'permission denied',
and running
sudo cd /usr/local/bin
returns without any error  but does not cd.
I can cd to /usr/local and do
ls bin/cs*
but there is no file named csound in the listing

It’s permissions then. He needs to make all directories under /usr/local (and usr and local) readable for
everyone. I’ve seen someone else mention this problem here on the list before. It’s unusual though.

Ah, good, that was it.
Changed permissions and reinstalled, then all ok.
Thanks so much for the help.
