We actually copied/installed the s/w to a shared automounted /opt and have
currently setup a symlink structure:
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 44 Aug 5 15:58 lcgroot
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Aug 5 16:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 16 Aug 19 18:18 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Aug 19 18:59 globus ->
lcgroot/current/opt/globus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 19 18:59 gcc-3.2.2 ->
lcgroot/current/opt/gcc-3.2.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 19 18:59 edg -> lcgroot/current/opt/edg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Aug 19 18:59 boost ->
lcgroot/current/opt/boost
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 19 18:59 lcg -> lcgroot/current/opt/lcg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 19 18:59 gpt -> lcgroot/current/opt/gpt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Aug 19 18:59 classads ->
lcgroot/current/opt/classads
where lcgroot/current links, in turn, to lcg release
(it would be nice to get rid of the top level symlinks, has anyone managed
to completely relocate them?)
