Oh indeed, our current method is to use: /usr/local/$package/$version and then use Modules to let people set up the appropriate environment for them. We have also reduced our customisations of users init scripts to just adding: module load vpac and then having the vpac modules load what we recommend as a default environment. When we change those settings we put a new (dated) vpac module in and so let users go back should they so wish. cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03) 9925 4751 - Systems Manager The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing P.O.
