Suppose you have a stow directory all set up and ready to go: `/usr/local/stow/perl' contains the Perl installation, `/usr/local/stow/stow' contains Stow itself, and perhaps you have other packages waiting to be stowed. You'd like to be able to do this:
cd /usr/local/stow stow -vv *
but stow
is not yet in your PATH
. Nor can you do this:
cd /usr/local/stow stow/bin/stow -vv *
because the `#!' line at the beginning of stow
tries to
locate Perl (usually in `/usr/local/bin/perl'), and that won't be
found. The solution you must use is:
cd /usr/local/stow perl/bin/perl stow/bin/stow -vv *
Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
