Absolute paths should be used across the board to be absolutely sure that the *correct* program is being run. Otherwise the confusion will only multiply. This is a special case for buildworld. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
