Re: {bb} BB on RedHat 5.1

["Rob Cotrone" <rcotrone@weebotech.com>]

It might be because IFS is set to a . when the line is called.
in my environment. I use a symbolic link for the path.

ln -s bb-1.08 bb-home
and use bb-home for everything.
When I upgrade, I just change the symbolic link.

Also... You may want to create a separate bb account and place the tree in
the account.
