Let's see: cwp-su dumps about 350 new executables into /sw/bin, as symlinks, but they are there anyway. Some of those that it would like to install are already being removed because of conflicts, but more conflicts are rather likely in the future. Wouldn't it be simpler to leave the safely in /sw/lib/cwp-su/bin where they are now, but instead of making symlinks in /sw/bin, place a script in /sw/etc/profile.d that prepends /sw/lib/cwp-su to PATH? I would find a similar solution for coreutils[-defaults] much cleaner, too, than the current pollution of /sw/bin with dozens of unix command names in disguise. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
