This is exactly the reason for the restrictive djbtools license - he wants his code to be in EXACTLY the SAME place in EVERY SYSTEM, and wants his code to work EXACTLY the SAME way EVERYWHERE. Go read his explanation... This is also the reason for the Linux Filesystem Standard (LFS). I've already described how there are multiple "standards" - where does the kernel go, for example? Where do new add-on packages go? Under HP-UX every new package goes in /opt/<pkg>/ and new libraries, manpages, and binaries get their paths added to the appropriate files. The PATH and MANPATH are quite long.... Also under HP-UX, the use of /usr/local is discouraged; one is encouraged to use /usr/contrib.... I don't place a lot of faith in standardizing on binary locations... -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
