wget comes with Solaris in /usr/bin. > Further investigation has shown that wget was the > only tool which has been installed into /usr/local (yet).

What is the standard way under Solaris with > such GNU tools? You shouldn't be modifying anything under the standard /usr directories. See filesystem(5) for more information about the standard locations and the way /usr/local and /opt are used -- those are the places that non-integrated (third party) software is delivered. Note that Solaris comes with most useful GNU tools, so you shouldn't have to do much (if any) of this. Others are easily available from sunfreeware or blastwave -- highly recommended if your time is valuable. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
