Apropos MANIFEST: I formerly fiddled around with packaging using jh_manifest
and there is also some alternative packaging method at
http://people.debian.org/~tille/packages/beast-mcmc-help-wanted/manifest/
featuring a debian/beast-mcmc.manifest file. Believe it or not it shows
the very same behaviour. The most strange fact for me is that the two
executables loganalyser and logcombiner are very similar but only one of
them runs and the other fails.
Do you think I should simply add a CLASSPATH variable to those scripts that
are failing without understanding why the others are working?
Kind regards
Andreas.
