Hi Lee (or nomad?),

Glad to hear that the RPM installed HTCondor correctly in your environment and it all is working, albeit with the help 
of a symlink.

I personally tend to agree with your thoughts above, but if you wish to read the thinking behind why it currently works 
the way it does, see the remarks/comments from the folks who package HTCondor at URL:

Hope the above helps,
regards,
Todd
