[MACTCL] BUG in POWER-Tcl "Compiler"

[<AO...@t-...>]

  BUG
  ---

  # ./setup
  couldn't read file "library": no such file or directory

  FIX
  ----
  The bug is a misbehavior of the "ld" library search based on an
  additional "s" file option:

   -rwxr-sr-x dev1usr/users    4476 2002-03-27 22:01:59 LinComp.CVS/setup


   Why does the BUG happen?
   ---------------------------------

   I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to tell the executable the right POWER-Tcl
   installation directory. The UNIX operating system does not use this
   environment variable if the "s" file option is set. The is OK because
   it is an security feature


   Why does I set the "s" file option ?
   ---------------------------------------

   I don't set this option. It was the NetAtalk tool. This tool is used to
   share UNIX directories as Apple-Share to MacOs. I use this tool
   to share my development directory with MacOs.


   Solution:
   ---------

   During final testing I check for "s" file option and create an ERROR if
   necessary


   This is an wonderful example how BUGs arrive. 

   You can not really check for ?new? BUGs you can only fix them
    and create a test tool to avoid this bug a second time


   Reporting BUGs is the only way to get better software



   thanks for reporting
