I have it installed in /opt/applix and I dont think there are any symlinks anywhere in /usr/local for it. It works fine. The install logfile: CopyFile: /cdrom/applix - /opt/applix/applix CopyFile: /cdrom/axart/alphabet/a1.ag - /opt/applix/axart/alphabet/a1.ag ... ... ... CopyFile: /opt/applix/axdata/axlicensedemo - /opt/applix/axlocal/axlicensedat CopyFile: /opt/applix/axdata/eng/ax_prof4.eng - /opt/applix/axdata/ax_prof4 The location was an install question from memory. This is version 4.42. Maybe Version 5 different? -- tonym (who uses /usr/local for ports/packages, /usr/host for handbuilt stuff and /opt for really big packages that have their own internal hierachy - I am so confused ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
