Re: Grace peculiarities


Hi,

Two questions about GRACE:
1- Why is the folder of GRACE in /usr/ and not in /usr/share/ as
   everything else?
Because that is the default setting if --prefix is pointing to /usr.
I didn't know that there is a --enable-grace-home=DIR switch for
configure that can be used to change this default as I build that
package.

2- Why there is in /bin/ a soft-link to xmgrace.exe while the actual
   program is in /usr/grace/bin/ ?
That's how "make install links" installs grace.

   Soft-links are not equivalent to the actual program, e.g. a
   Windows native cmd batch script cannot run them.
That is true.

Happy holidays
Merry Christmas!

Volker
