Geomview Installation Weirdness...

[danw at msc.edu (Dan Waylonis)]

Hi,

I ftp'd the latest Geomview from your site (nextdoor!) and I'm having some
problem with making/installing the software.

When the Makefile uses the "/etc/install" command with the -F option set to
"../../../", install seems to think that a "/" is needed -- therefore, it
automagically prepends "/" onto the directory string passed to it.

For example, the makefile "geomview/src/lib/forms/Makefile" has the first
line: "GEOM = ../../.." which seems to cause problems for "/etc/install" --
why didn't you create a GEOMROOT environment variable in the "geomview/config"
file ?

Thanks,
Dan
