Re: [nv-l] 7.1.4 Installation Directories

Are you having some sort of problem
with this?
I suspect that the answer is largely
historical. The links are added at install time to facilitate the
install scripts -- basically to guarantee that the proper environment can
be found even in bizarre circumstances. Adding links in /usr/lib
is a very common thing for UNIX products to do. Putting them in /usr/bin
is less so, but even the operating systems do it, as ls -l will show you.
So it's hardly a rare thing.
I don't believe that the links are really
necessary after installation, and if you source /usr/OV/bin/NVenvironment
then you should be able to just remove them. You can always
add them back again if you want. But NVenvironment is a relatively
recent addition to NetView. Putting the links into the /usr directories
goes back to the first versions of the product.

I would like to understand the significance of the
/usr/bin and /usr/lib directories in regards to a NV
7.1.4 install. Why does NV need to place files in the
/usr/bin directory when they already exist in
/usr/OV/bin and why does NV need to make links in
/usr/lib to /usr/OV/lib?

Albert Wong
