In 1.5, Fedora/RH people asked for a separation of lstopo-no-graphics and lstopo with graphical options. lstopo-no-graphics is always built without graphical support. lstopo is built with graphical support when possible, or it's just a symlink to lstopo-no-graphics. And hwloc-ls is just a symlink to lstopo-no-graphics in all cases. So just use lstopo and you'll be happy. The reason for not being a symlink to lstopo is likely that lstopo doesn't always exist. It depends how hwloc is packaged. On Debian, you have either a package with lstopo-no-graphics and a lstopo symlink, or another package with lstopo-no-graphics and lstopo binaries. On Fedora/... you always have a package that contains lstopo-no-graphics with no lstopo at all, and you can add another package with the graphical lstopo on top of it. Maybe we should just drop hwloc-ls to avoid the confusion. But several people are used to it already. Also we added a hwloc-ls desktop file recently, I guess it points to a non-graphical, which isn't good. I can make hwloc-ls a real program that checks whether lstopo exists before it runs lstopo or lstopo-no-graphics ? Brice
