I would like to install all devtools and because of several disks (and never enaugh diskspace) I prefer to work with symbolic links. Unfortunately I get some problems with directory links. I can install them but they work only with a few command: -snip------------------------------------------------ bernd:~/tst# ln -s /tmp/kif bernd:~/tst# ls -l total 1 lrw-r--r-- 1 bernd everyone 19 Mar 20 17:03 kif -> /tmp/kif/ bernd:~/tst# ls kif KIFClass.h KIFMethods.C README kif-meta.kif KIFGrammar.y KIFParse.C TstParser.C kif-relations.kif KIFLex.l Makefile kif-lists.kif kif-sets.kif bernd:~/tst# cd kif BASH.EXE: kif: Not owner bernd:~/tst# cat kif/Makefile cat: kif/Makefile: No such file or directory bernd:~/tst# -snip------------------------------------------------ Did I a mistake or is this still an uncomplete porting? Thanks for hints.
