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@gnu.ai.mit.edu |
