BIRCH - Overriding
locally-installed
programs
In some cases, two different versions of a program are installed,
one
in BIRCH and one independently of BIRCH. BIRCH tries to have a
minimal
impact on the system. Therefore, the search path set up by BIRCH has
directories in the following order:
$local/script
$local/bin-xxx-xxx
... system paths...
$BIRCH/script
$BIRCH/bin-xxx-xxx
The way to make BIRCH programs override programs that are installed
independently of BIRCH is to add symbolic links from the
$local/script
to $BIRCH/script, or from $local/bin-xxx-xxx to $BIRCH/bin-xxx-xxx.
