Yes, of course. I just meant to say that those programs (scripts) shouldn't necessarily be considered broken... even if they truly are. Thing is that they are broken, figuring out where the interpeter is should always be done at compile/configure time. Having perl in /usr/local/bin is very common for example, and simply hardcoding it to /usr/bin will make things break. One could draw a parallel with MAXPATHLEN here, and say that since it breaks programs, we should just define MAXPATHLEN to something just to make these programs work instead of fixing them properly. :-) Cheers. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
