(Did you tell that explicitly? should I have guessed?) In any case, I think the link is created incorrectly: instead of -----m root 510 Dec 15 20:04 gunzip -> /dev/env/DJDIR/bin/gzip It should be -----m root 510 Dec 15 20:04 gunzip -> ./gzip Do you agree? > To answer your request, I probably could, but it would take too > long. Jerry Pournelle made a good wage from Byte Magazine for > many years claiming to be a user, not a programmer. Jerry Pournelle doesn't test library changes by rebuilding packages from sources, IIRC. Anyway, if you don't have resorces to debug this, I guess this issue will remain unresolved until someone steps forward and debugs it. Thanks for working on this.
