Me's long been in favour of a general PREFICES variable to replace (or, probably more realistically: amend) the various *PATH vars (and, in this case: the fpath var). In fact, on me machines, me even initializes the *PATH variables from that var (it's also necessary to have a SUFFICES var 'cause of exisiting {{,s}bin,libexec,...} divergence). Me's only been using site-functions relatively recently, but me should then initialize the fpath var from the PREFICES one as well -- thanks for pointing this out. > Software dumping files outside of it's designated installation prefix is > something that should be avoided. Keep in mind though, that there appear to be some general (but not universal!) exceptions, such as /{etc,var}/. And then, as a "driving it too far" example, there's the horrible lunix /opt/... --zeurkous. -- Friggin' Machines!
