compressdoc error with relative path

[miller_lee_p@…]

if compressdoc is invoked from /usr/bin with current directory syntax (i.e. (cd /usr/bin; ./compressdoc) the following error results

./compressdoc: line 328: ./compressdoc: No such file or directory

the script works fine if called with either absolute path or no path given and relying on $PATH to find the script.

Has this been fixed? There is some mention about starting with ./ in the script.

[tushar@…]

Fixed in version 20040320.0026 of compressdoc script.

got /usr/sbin/compressdoc: line 336: /usr/local/man/man1: is a directory. memory is filled up (512MB). and swap too (1GB..)... tried to laungh with relative or absolute path. same result. I'musing a CVS 30.03.2004 version.

Needs confirming.

comment #3 may be unrelated I discovered a typo in the development version where the line: "$MY_NAME" ${COMP_METHOD} ${COMP_LVL} ${LN_OPT} ${VERBOSE_OPT}

${FORCE_OPT} "${DIR}/${FILE}"

exit 1

is missing a '\' at the end of the first line, should be: "$MY_NAME" ${COMP_METHOD} ${COMP_LVL} ${LN_OPT} ${VERBOSE_OPT} \

${FORCE_OPT} "${DIR}/${FILE}"

exit 1

the typo causes an "infinite" recursion loop.

Added a backslash to the command reported in comment #5 in R3471

[bdubbs@…]

This is really two bugs. The backslash was fixed in R3471 and the script now demands an absolute path.
