Re: [Condor-users] Hard-coded paths in Condor binaries?

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

Yes--I have seen this many times and reported this almost a year ago.  the 
developers have told me it's a relic of the NMI build system hardcoding
the library paths into the executable--a relic which IMO needs to get fixed.
I finally gave in and created a special /home/condor automount to 
make the errors go away, but there are several other software packages
built via NMI that also have this problem and have not only /home/condor
but various of the developers home directories wired in.
