Looks like something from the build process is leaking into the runtime. I wonder if it should be corrected to look at the $HOME of the user running the program (as opposed to the $HOME of the fictional user who build the package), or at least not bother looking in the builder's dir (if it already also does look in runtime-user's). dan -- Daniel Macks [email protected] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
