I think I will reinstall everything after making sure that there are no
remnants of previous builds around.
Question though (I may be dense) but in the Linux dx startup script
(/usr/loca/dx/bin/dx) there is the test which reads:
if [ ! -d "$DXMACROS"]; then
DXMACROS=
but DXMACROS is a ***path*** , not a directory, i.e.
$DXMACROS==/somedirectory:/someotherdirectory
doesn't the test then fail?? and therefore erase DXMACROS??
Thanks for your help.
