Package: ggobi
Version: 2.1.8-1
Severity: normal
Hi Dirk,
Maybe a wishlist rather than a bug?
On one of my servers I have /usr/share physcially located on another
partition, with a symlink back to /usr/share (for whatever bizarre
reason.... actually because I ran out of space on /usr). Not sure
whether that violates a Debian or Linux policy. But plugins are not
found for ggobi:
$ ls -l /usr/share/ggobi/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-10-06 16:54 data
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-12-20 15:03 plugins -> ../../lib/ggobi/plugins
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-10-06 16:54 share
$ ls -l /usr/share/ggobi/../../
total 168
[...]
drwxrwsr-x 13 root src 4096 2006-09-03 21:55 cvs
drwxrwxr-x 8 www-data staff 4096 2008-10-07 08:09 g2data
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-01-09 05:23 jaya
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2004-05-18 20:11 lost+found
[...]
drwxr-xr-x 407 root root 12288 2009-02-28 14:18 usrshare
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 2008-07-11 19:42 var
[...]
That is, there is no lib directory there.....
My quick fix is to symlink /usr/lib to here.... but should the ggobi sym
link be to /usrs/lib/ggobi/plugins, rather than assuming location (or
does that imply other assumpmtions about location?).
Regards,
Graham
