[gobolinux-users] rootless - real_install

[Dan]

Hi,

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with Rootless. I installed it  
on a university machine at the same time you did to test that file I  
sent, and I've noticed a couple of problems myself, which I'm going  
to try to track down and fix in the next couple of days.

The real_install link needs to point to wherever the 'install' binary  
on your host machine is. The following commands should fix it:

cd Programs/Rootless/1.0/bin
ln -fs "`which install`" real_install

Although, the other problems I've noticed (which are probably going  
to take me a while to find) are actually in one of the dependencies  
of Compile itself, rather than CreateRootlessEnvironment, so it's  
possible that even with that link corrected, you'll still have some  
difficulty getting Compile to work properly.

There's been a new version of the Gobo scripts released since your  
last message, so you may also have more luck if you remove the gobo  
line from your .bash_profile, rm the folder, and just reinstall  
rootless from scratch using a fresh copy of the  
CreateRootlessEnvironment script from the website.

I hope this helps. Let us know if anything else goes wrong.

Dan
