sudo symbolic link between directories

[thufir]

To make a symbolic link between directories, am I doing this correctly?


thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ ls opt
foo
thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ ls bin
bar
thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ ln -s opt bin
thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ ls opt
foo
thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ ls bin
bar  opt
thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ ls /opt/ActiveTcl-8.5/
bin  demos  doc  include  lib  license-at8.5-thread.terms  licenses  man  
MANIFEST_at8.5.txt  README-8.5-thread.txt
thufir at dur:~$ 


That seems ok, so that now ~/bin has ~/opt contents, specifically file 
foo.  This is a dry run, before adding /opt/ActiveTcl-8.5/bin to /usr/bin 
in the pattern, so that I don't destroy the directory.

(The point of this is so that when I compile ruby as per http://
beginrescueend.com/integration/tk/ that the compiled ruby has tk 
correctly.  It seems required to use ActiveTcl in this scenario.)




thanks,
