RE: 7Zip Problem

The symbolic link is fine, and is required if you want to use 7Zip from qsh as well as from PASE (it works in both places if you have that link). Your problem is that you need to install gcc from the link on Scott's website. BTW, gcc will want that link to exist as well. Your life will be a lot easier with it than without it.

This belongs in the midrange-l forum.

I have installed 7Zip to my i, and add the symbolic link as bellow
ln -s /usr/local /QOpenSys/usr/local

And BTW, I wouldn't make a symbolic link from the root file system into
the QOpenSys file system. The root file system has not he same features
as the QOpenSys file system (f. e. case sensitivity).

In general, this is OK if you know what you're doing. However, I agree that
you shouldn't try to create a link between /QOpenSys/usr/local and
/usr/local.
