Hello - If my sfcb* scripts and binaries (sfcbrepos, sfcbmof, etc.) are in a non-traditional location, and I want postinstall to ignore the standard path sfcb directories (e.g. /usr/bin) - what is the easiest way for me to do that? Adding the path of the sfcb* files to the normal PATH complicates some other things for me and is not an option. Is there another configure option, or environmental variable I can set to accomplish this? I suppose I could hardcode a path like MY_PATH/sfcbrepos in the provider_register.sh script, where I define the MY_PATH as part of the make call, but I am hoping to avoid that. Thanks, Luke S.

Hi Luke, We don't have any configure options that would achieve this. Like you suggest, you could modify the sfcb_install() function of provider_register.sh so that it points to the proper location. Or, you could use symlinks so that the executables show up in a standard location. This is probably the better option, because then you can grab a new clone of the tree or a new tarball without having to update provider_register.sh. -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center kaitlin@linux.vnet.ibm.com
