Rather I would install it to "/opt" and only link those ooRexx binaries constituting the ooRexx interpreter from there to "/usr/local/bin" and "/usr/local/lib".
This is because "/usr/local" seems to not be meant for installing "third party packages", rather "/opt" is meant for that. [Under MacOSX in addition the Apple advised location for installing applications and frameworks would be a possible choice from which then links occur to "/usr/local/bin" and "/usr/local/lib". The BSF4ooRexx MacOSX packager does that and honors the Apple "Framework" and "Application" installation structure and links from those locations to "/usr/local/bin" and "/usr/local/lib".] Best regards ---rony _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
