I regularly download and try to use software that was compiled for AIX.
Frequently, that software expects files to be in their standard Unix
locations /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/share, et al.
But
the IBM tools expect them to be in /QOpenSys/usr/local -- thus creating
a conflict and breaking the software.
So I always have /usr/local and /qopensys/usr/local symlinked.
are all careful to maintain case, but that doesn't /hurt/ anything if
they're running in a case-insensitive filesystem... it's just not
necessary. Granted, if one of them had files that had the same name
where the only diff was the upper vs. lower case characters, then
something would break.
