The solution is NOT to make your program dependent on the directory it
was run from and use compiled-in paths [+ env variables] [+ command
line options] to specify the location -- which I believe is the norm.
Assuming that the users/sysadmins dont start moving your apps
distributed files around the system; it should all work out fine using
the traditional autofoo methods.
You might also want to consider this:
<http://autopackage.org/docs/binreloc/>
It allows one to create a binary that can just be unzipped at any place in
the filesystem and figures out at runtime where the data files are based
on the location of the executable.
Best,
Jan.
