[Shake-dev] shakemap install for individual users

[Bill Gustafson]

Hi All,

I just tried to do a shakemap 3.1 install for an individual user.  I was 
hoping that it wouldn't require a full install for each user, and that 
all the users could share the same source code.  My attempt to do that 
failed (basically it appears that when the library source code is 
installed it configures hard-coded paths that circumvent the SHAKE_HOME 
variable).  Is there a way to work around that?  Or did I do something 
wrong?  Or was I misguided to try?

What I did was create a directory with the supporting directories 
(config, pw, data, some others), specify that as SHAKE_HOME, reconfigure 
the config files, and mysql and such appropriately, and try it.  It 
didn't work, because it seemed that some of the paths weren't set up 
correctly.

I then went ahead and did a full separate install, which worked fine, as 
expected.  There are some good reasons for keeping everything completely 
separate between users, so I'm not too disappointed, but was wondering 
if someone out there has configured it the other way and had it work 
correctly?

Thanks,

Bill
