While testing a package on a number of systems, it has become clear to me that they are often "broken" in non-obvious ways. As just two examples that I have come across: 1) Users not having permissions to shared libraries 2) Duplicate, and inconsistent gcc/g++/g77 compilers Has anyone ever collected a list of these, and suggestions of what to do on a web page? (I would be glad to collate these if you want to send them to me off-line.) ----------------------------------------------- Laurence Marks Department of Materials Science and Engineering MSE Rm 2036 Cook Hall 2225 N Campus Drive Northwestern University Evanston, IL 60201, USA Tel: (847) 491-3996 Fax: (847) 491-7820 mailto:ldm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.numis.nwu.edu -----------------------------------------------
