- Thanks for all the suggestions.
-
- Several people suggested I check permissions on the files and directories
- involved. I did - no problems there.
-
- One person suggested I delete the carriage return on the end of the
- ixBuildOptions file. I tried that - no dice.
-
- One person said he had the same problem, and he suspected a bug in Librarian.
- I took his advice, and ran ixBuild with the options listed in the
- ixBuildOptions file. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the advice.
-
- If this is a bug (and it certainly seems to be one), I hope it is fixed in 3.0!
