Re: [GLE-devel] Where does gle search for glerc?

[LaBella, V. <vla...@al...>]

Christian and Andrey:

	I'll admit I am not a Linux user and not aware of the proper file layout.  If there are specific fixes and patches it is best to submit a pull request via github.  

If you do not have a solution but found an issue, raise an issue on the github page here:

https://github.com/vlabella/GLE/issues

Do this for each separate issue.  This makes it easier to track them to resolutions and commits.  It is difficult to pull them out of an email chain.


Thanks

Vince

Change GLE_TOP_DIR in the config:
