Summary	0000452: Running the ascend binary causes an infinite loop after compilation
Description	I was compiling ascend from source and finished it successfully. But, when I tried to run it I got the following error. Restarting with corrected environment... LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local//lib:/usr/local/lib ASCENDLIBRARY = /usr/local/lib/ascend/models:/usr/local//lib/ascend/models PYTHON = /usr/bin/python script = /usr/local/bin/ascend Restarting with corrected environment... LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local//lib:/usr/local/lib ASCENDLIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/ascend/models:/usr/local/lib/ascend/models:/usr/local//lib/ascend/models PYTHON = /usr/bin/python script = /usr/local/bin/ascend It was observed that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH had two slashes instead of one because of specifying INSTALL_PATH as "/usr/local/" during scons install. The operating system takes it as the correct path and installs the files accordingly but the configuration uses the string "/usr/local" as is and hence the extra slash.
Additional Information	To recreate the bug, perform the following steps. cd ~/ascend scons scons install INSTALL_PATH=/usr/local/ ascend
Tags	No tags attached.

john 2010-04-09 14:39 administrator ~0000632	I think that the solution to this is to normalise the INSTALL_PREFIX and related paths before they are inserted into files like ascend.in.
