Name conflict with plink1, plink1.9, plink2 and plink from ssh clone putty ============================================= We are facing a name clash in the Free Software universe and we have to circumvent. To summarize, we have: 1. The plink1 executable /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/plink 1.1 A symbolic link to the plink1 executable /usr/bin/plink1 /usr/bin/p-link /usr/lib/plink/plink 2. The plink1.9 executable /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/plink1.9 2.1 A symbolic link to the plink1.9 executable /usr/bin/plink1.9 3. The plink2 executable /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/plink2 3.1 A symbolic link to the plink2 executable /usr/bin/plink2 4. The plink executable (from putty) /usr/bin/plink So if you want to use plink1 with its original name just do the following: Set the PATH variable like export PATH=/usr/lib/debian-med/bin:$PATH This makes sure that scripts you are using will find the correct plink executable. -- Andreas Tille Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:28:25 +0200 -- Dylan Aïssi Thu, 22 Jan 2015 08:00:59 +0100
