Hi,
Just some small additional notes to my previous mail.
As I have already mentioned I was not able to install your i386.rpm
because of failed dependencies :
	libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by root-2.23.11-1
I have just tried to rebuild the package, then install the newly created
i386.rpm and ... the error is still there :-)
You could warn people that they should use "--nodeps" when installing or
upgrading (concerns i386.rpm for egcs-1.1.2).
While rebuilding, I have found that it completely ignores my CERNLIB
setting (it sets "CERNLIB=/usr/local/cern/2000/lib"). You could consider
checking the user's CERNLIB setting.
After I finally installed the package, I have found that it created some
symbolic links in the "/usr/bin". I'm not sure, but I think it should
create/replace these symbolic links only if I do "upgrade", not "install".
As far as I understand you mail, the purpose of install is to test the new
root without REPLACING the existing one (and the user is responsible for
setting one's PATH). Only the upgrade should create/replace these "global"
symbolic links.
Best regards,
Jacek.
