Development tips


Hi all,

Nice to hear that you didn't encounter any Y2K problems, but the worm and viruses  warning I have seen, - looks spooky.

I still try to work out this tclVogle puzzle,  and I have also created a special situation.

How do you do program development in UNIX ?

I have had several problems before, and it seems quit common that you install programs under the /usr/local directory.  Because
of various problems before,  I have tried something else.
I have a user called program,  and the "home" - is /home/program

So now I have installed the programs I work with under /home/program/local, - which rises new problems of course.  But my
question is,  - how do they do this on large systems ?  Say at universities, and "old" unix ( many shared a machine ) ?

For several good reasons,  I don't like to "play" with programs in the /usr directory.  So how can you duplicate this environment,
to a user home ?

Some may wonder why I would like this,  but I have had several problems with "wrong" versions of libraries and programs, and
I also have picked up a lot of wrong header files, etc.  In short - made a mess :)

Any good ideas and recommendations ?
