[LSST|dm-users 581] Re: pipe_tasks 10.0+1 build error

[John Swinbank]

Sorry, hit send too early, but I think the below fundamentally made my point. One thing to add is that I personally would recommend blowing away your current stack and starting again with a clean environment and a fresh copy of newinstall.sh and going straight in with a “eups distrib install lsst_distrib -t v10_0". The eups-ninjas will, no doubt, tell us that’s not necessary, but I think it’ll just make things simpler.

Cheers,

John

It became obvious that this was not the correct thing to do when I later ran eups distrib and it complained that it could not find various program versions despite being seen in the environment.
