[hobbit] RHEL 3 Error

Ralph,

I did check through the directory tree and it's got full ownership
permissions through the client tree as you would expect.

I just ran the bbcmd to see what the environment looked like, and I see
it has /usr/libexec/hobbit/client for the bbhome and hobbit home.

I bet I don't have those directories, though I know where they came
from.

I tried compiling the 4.2.0 client from the source, but was unable to
get it to compile as it had floating point errors.  I found the rpm on
razor's edge and installed that.  That did an odd install that put
things in a number of places, so that's probably where that comes from,
so now I need to figure out how to get the paths straightened out in the
bbcmd environment.

Thanks for the pointer, I don't know why I hadn't checked all that more
closely.

Does anyone know why I can't get the 4.2.0 source to compile on RHEL 3 ?

Seems to me that's the kind of message to expect if someone either
removes a directory the process is running in, or possibly chmod's (or
maybe chown's) some part of the tree so that it can't be accessed by
the running process.

I'm not a RHEL expert, but that's where I'd start on any Unix-like
system.  Even if you don't have any 'files' tests defined, Hobbit
still has to be able to reach its own config files, log files, etc.
