Description From Mattias Ellert 2008-10-14 13:11:32

When compiled as system software, i.e. with --prefix=/usr, no special
environment variables (like GLOBUS_LOCATION) should be required to run the
software. The linked patch fixes this problem for the scripts in the
globus-gsi-cert-utils package.

See bug #6452 and bug #6459 for the corresponding issue in globus-core and
globus-common.

I made some changes to your patch to make fail nicely if GLOBUS_LOCATION is not
set and the installation isn't done to /usr instead of dying with a system
error message. Can you test whether this still works for your installation in
/usr?

I accept your changes to my patch. I have updated the linked patch accordingly.

I discovered 2 typos in your patch.

1) Line 97 of your patch says: Please set X509_UCERT_DIR
   This should be:             Please set X509_CERT_DIR

2) Line 267 of your patch says: if
   This should be:              fi

I have made these changes in my new updated version of the patch.

Your new patch is committed to 4.2 branch and trunk.
