Maybe it's just a typo, but put a space between 'sudo' and '-s'. Alternatively use 'sudo su'.
If that doesn't work, then try this '/usr/bin/sudo -s'. If that works, then your PATH is wrong. Type $PATH and make sure that '/usr/bin' is part of it.
If that doesn't work, then make sure 'sudo' is actually in '/usr/bin'. Type 'ls /usr/bin/sudo' and make sure it echoes it back. If not, it will say No such file or directory.

It's impossible to help / fix w/o knowing what you did.

If you *really* broke sudo by accidentally deleting or modifying the OS, then most likely, only a clean install of the OS would fix it.

To be honest, maybe you shouldn't use sudo until you are REALLY sure you know what you're doing.

Thanks man it really only was a typo.

Definitely good to hear. I would read up more on terminal commands. Also, the manual pages are a great resource. Type 'man sudo' for more info on sudo. Also, keep in mind that most commands are formatted as:

Code:
'COMMAND [OPTIONS] ARGUMENTS'

Some are more complicated, and some flags require arguments, but that's the gist of it. Note the spaces between the command and options and arguments.
