due to a subtle quoting bug, the OSSIM installer is hardcoding the PATH, which removes GMT from the PATH, which makes GMT and MB-System non-functional in 4.0rc9.

this is a prime example why maintaining feature-freeze discipline during the RC cycle is so important, tests on earlier RCs (pre RC8) didn't have this error.

in ~user/.bashrc it should be:

  PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/ossim:/usr/local/ossim/bin"
  export PATH

(make that edit by hand to avoid rebuilding from main.sh)

hopefully fixed for future builds in trunk with r4700, and the release branch in r4701.

ps- many frustrating trac errors today:

Hi,

in the ~user/data/ menu, these dirs are set a+w, which is to be avoided:

• kml/
• raster/
• spatialite/
• udig-data/

besides being a security risk, it also means that the files will be held in RAM(?), which is bad.

if you need to keep a file writable, add it to the "users" group.

e.g.:

chown -R root.users pathname/
chmod -R g+w pathname/
adduser user users

as GID survives the ISO building process while UID does not.

Looking at ​http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/4.0-rc6/osgeolive-docs/content.html, the overview documentation for the Geomajas project still refers to an older version. Also the quickstart link is missing.
