AFAICT, "su" has a similar problem: [corsepiu@beck ~] echo $PATH /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/users/corsepiu/bin [corsepiu@beck ~]$ su -l fedora ... [fedora@beck ~]$ echo $PATH /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/users/fedora/bin Note the locations of /bin and /usr/bin. This causes malfunctions of programs which utilize arg[0] to determine the position of directories they expect to find in a relative position to the program's location (e.g. /usr/bin/foo expects to find ../lib/foodata/). A real world case for such a package is rpmfusion's m2vmp2cut. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
