It should look like this: ~$ ls -al /dev/stdout lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 6 23:06 /dev/stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1 Maybe the symlink was replaced by a file with insufficient permissions, thus the error. If that is the case, please remove the file and recreate the symlink. (Or reboot, since /dev should be on a tmpfs the symlink will be created at boot time.) _If_ the symlink is correctly in place as show above, please provide the output of "ls -ald /dev", maybe the permissions to /dev are wrong.
