Re: [Bug-apl] SVN 595

[Fausto Saporito]

Hi Jürgen,

ok. for some reason if I run "/usr/local/bin/apl --noColor" I have no
error, if I run "apl --noColor" without the full path I got the error.
But without any switch (--noColor or --emacs) it's ok even if I run
apl or /usr/local/bin/apl

Really I cannot understand this.

regards,
Fausto
