Confused about this, so I'd like to ask, before I mess things up. I
am attempting to follow the instructions on <br>

I'd like to create a symbolic link from cc (which is a symlink) to
/opt/compiler_cuda/gcc<br>
<br>
<code>cc -> /opt/compiler_cuda/gcc<br>
<br>
</code>So the command should be: sudo ln -s cc
/opt/compiler_cuda/gcc ? Or reverse the arguments?<br>
<br>
Sorry about this primitive question, sometimes I get confused about
the order. As I have found online, the description is<br>
<tt>ln -s /path/to/file path/to/symlink</tt>. However, this still
confuses me. Which is which in my example?<br>
<br>
Can someone enlighten me? TIA.<br>
