Nice and easy to rm -r when you're sick of it. But I presume you, as I, don't want a package build trying to modify /etc/profile etc to hook itself into $PATH. I might well add it in myself, even setup to test a range of locations and use what exists, I like that in my .emacs a lot too for instance. Anyway, the main point would be that I don't think it's the package's business to try to join itself to the world when installed in an out-of-the-way place. No, but it shoudl be easy for someone to add. so I'd like to be able to do something like: # guile-admin --add-prefix /usr/foo # guile-admin --remove-prefix /usr/foo # guile-admin --show-prefixes -- Greg Troxel _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
