[OpenAFS] 'amd64_linux26' is being replaced by '@sys'

We're confused here. RHELv5 amd64_linux26 + OpenAFS 1.4.6 % pwd /afs/rcf/apps/Matlab/amd64_linux26/current/bin % /bin/pwd /afs/rcf.our.org/apps/Matlab/@sys/R2009b/bin % This does not happen on the following other hosts we've tested: RHELv5 amd64_linux26 with OpenAFS 1.4.7 RHELv5 i386_l

Well... hm. Can I suggest making the object @sys points to be a symlink to the real directory, instead of the real directory? That should result in the right thing happening, albeit still wretched. On Mon, May 24, 2010 at 12:20 PM, Jeff Blaine wrote: > Oh to be so lucky. > > Matlab barfs all ove

Hmm. Very odd. % mv amd64_linux26 amd64_linux26_realdir % ln -s ./amd64_linux26_realdir ./amd64_linux26 % vos release root.apps [ examined /afs/rcf/apps to be sure the new structure appears ] % export MATLAB=/afs/rcf/apps/Matlab/amd64_linux26/R2009b % sh -x $MATLAB/bin/matlab ... + newdir=/afs/
