How to change IP when /etc/network/interface file is missing?

Question

I've recently upgraded my mac to 10.9 and having reinstalled Xcode and the command line tools I now get this error when I run g77:

g77 myprog.f -o myprog
./myprog

Gives the following error:

dyld: no valid entry point

Trace/BPT trap: 5

Does any one have any ideas what this means and how I fix it?

Thanks!

Solution 1

You typed:

sudo vi /etc/network/interface

You should have typed this:

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces 

You forgot the s.

Solution 2

Ubuntu uses Network Manager to manage the network configuration.

Run nm-connection-editor to set a static IP.

Solution 3

Adapted from: Create a Static IP from the Command Line

Basically, steps needed are:

Find out you current settings:

ifconfig eth0

Edit /etc/network/interfaces to meet your requirements.

Look for these two line:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Change them to instead be: (example IP addresses)

auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.130
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.0.0
    broadcast 192.168.0.255
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1

Then re-start your server.

It should now be using: 192.168.0.130

12.04 also needs dns-nameservers 192.168.0.x as they changed how resolv.conf works.

Sorry, I cribbed from my old notes for 10.04 LTS server.

ifconfig is kind of obsolete now
