Hello Athena Bug Exterminators,

There is an error in one of the symbolic links in the file structure of the
SGI Indy workstations in 4-035.  About half of the machines in the room are
affected; one of the affected machines is "m4-035-16".

The error is in one of the symbolic links in "/var/arch/lib/".  The link
that is currently in place is

	ln -s /usr/gfxarch/IP12GR2/libGL.so libGL.so

This is wrong.  The link that should be there is

	ln -s /usr/gfx/arch/IP12GR2/libGL.so libGL.so

All of the other links in the directory appear to be OK.  I fixed one
particular machine by logging in as root and deleting/replacing the link, but
it would be nice to fix them all at once if possible.  Can you repair them all
with one operation, or do we have to fix them one by one as necessary?



Thanks,
Robert Beretta
