If this is ahead of /bin and /usr/bin in the search path, -several of SCO's scripts that use -e will break, since gawk does not -accept this option. - -The solution is simple. After doing a `make install', do: - - rm -f /usr/local/bin/awk # or wherever it is installed. - -This removes the `awk' symlink so that SCO's programs will continue -to work. - -If you complain to me about this, I will fuss at you for not having -done your homework. - -Arnold Robbins -arnold@skeeve.com - ---------------------------- -Date: 14 Oct 1997 12:17 +0000 -From: Leigh Hebblethwaite <LHebblethwaite@transoft.com> -To: bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu - -I've just built gawk 3.0.3 on my system and have experienced a problem -with the routine pipeio2.awk in the test suite.
