One problem solved. When I ran SSE as root, it created the hidden .sunstudio directory in my home directory with root permissions. This of course meant that I didn't have permission to update it when I ran SSE from my normal staff user account.
However, I still don't know how to persistently set environment variables, or even if that's the right way to achieve my objective. I do not want to set the PATH and MANPATH variables everytime I need to run SSE, and I want other programs to be able to find SSE files. Some observations: A single OpenSolaris user has to be both an administrator, programmer, and user. You are either all three, or all screwed. So far I've had to remove misconfigurations and compile programs in addition to just running applications. OpenSolaris is not clear about root: Is it a Role, or is it a User? So far it's treating it as not quite either. If this was done for backwards compatibility, then it's a disaster. At least one build of OpenSolaris should sacrifice backwards compatibility to implement a cleaner security model. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
