Hi Stefan, I suggest to use absolute paths everywhere, not just because of incompatibility reasons of fauhdlc versions. If a user has a broken PATH variable (for whatever reason), the binary might not be found at all. The second reason is security: If PATH is used to search for a particular binary, a malicious binary might be executed, if PATH points to a directory to which an attacker has write permissions. How about uploading a fixed version in the meantime, if the next FAUMachine release might take some more time? Cheers - Fuddl
