Thanks, Aaron, for preparing the man page. I'm not sure it is consistent with `admb --help` though. A couple of options seem to be missing.<br>

In general, fixing the paths and making necessary (or convenient)<br>
symbolic links is better than asking people to edit their .bashrc .<br>
Many bash users use their bashrc to configure their working<br>
environment; admb is just one of countless things I use a shell for.<br>

Once again, I have assembled the extant man page; do people think more<br>
content is needed?<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am having problems installingADMB 11.1 from the source on the<br>
website ie<br>
<br>

The source appears to build correctly, but fails when trying to<br>
run the simple example. I have RTFM'd to the letter but it seems<br>
that the instructions are incomplete and various items are not<br>
getting picked up in the path.... (see below) What directories<br>
does ADMB need to be in the path?<br>

The build process has changed. Check the link below.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.admb-project.org/buildbot/documentation/QuickStartUnix.html" target="_blank">http://www.admb-project.org/<u></u>buildbot/documentation/<u></u>QuickStartUnix.html</a><br>
<br>
It should be simpler and easier for everyone, but may need some<br>
fine tuning.<br>
<br>
Feedback from Barak Pearlmutter was used for the the changes.<br>
Such as the<br>
eliminating the need to set System Variables. Although, it will<br>
still work if they<br>
are set.<br>
<br>
If you would like to contribute man pages, please let me know.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I can work the man page; I have thus far been responsible for it.<br>
I assume we don't want to write a 5460 line beast of a man page;<br>
however any content that people want included in the man page<br>
shown in<br>
the Debian package.<br>
Honestly, I think that focusing on the standard Linux build<br>
process<br>
and including the man page in the default build process will make<br>
getting admb into the standard linux pipeline.<br>
Barak Pearlmutter is probably a critical resource for this<br>
activity;<br>
however he cannot work on this alone. Has anyone looked at the<br>
patches he has suggested? If the build process needs to be<br>
cleaned up,<br>
who within admb<br>
is willing to work with us on it?<br>
