Sorry, but I don't understand. Exuberant installs a ctags binary and (if configured with the --enable-etags option) an etags symlink pointing to it. Why would the argument be different for the case of two separate binaries, as opposed to one binary and a symlink to it? Either way, there will be name (and file) collisions. Ulrich
