Simon,
I have tried and failed to load the large SW database (and complained
about this to William yesterday). All the spkg_install scripts is to
move a whole lot of files, but it uses the command "mv -r" which is
illegal on my machines (ubuntu linux).
Which READMA were you referring to?
John
'mv' does not have any -r option according to POSIX
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/mv.html
NAME
mv - move files
SYNOPSIS
mv [-if] source_file target_file
mv [-if] source_file... target_dir
So anyone writing scripts with a -r option to mv is asking for trouble.
