Please review the mailing list rules [1] - there's no need to quote
every message in the entire thread in each message, AND this is the
wrong list for install-related questions (you might get more or better
answers on that list...)
Then, have a look at the available install documents [2], [3]. If you
look in [3], you'll find out a) why there are symlinks in the source,
b) how to make them, and c) how to do without them (i.e. the .zip
packages).
The problem you're having is because your symlink points to something
that doesn't exist; this:
typo3_src---> typo3_src-3.7.1
...means that the symlink 'typo3_src' points to a directory called
'typo3_src-3.7.1' but there is no such directory, because you've
renamed it. I haven't read the complete thread, but I don't see any
reason for renaming the source package at all. In any case, based on
your current directory structure, run these commands:
rm typo3_src
ln -s users typo3_src
What would probably be most helpfulto you at the outset is a basic
linux tutorial. A good one shouldn't be too hard to find - a Google
search for 'linux + tutorial' returns 5 million results...
