If you want a call that uses the PATH environment variable you should use execvp instead of execv Actually, I'ts preferable to use a call that Don't use the PATH environment variable, and specify the absolute path of the executable instead. Have a well known program, qmail, compiled on Leopard. We've used it for 3 years or so on Mac Tiger et al. qmail runs on most any platform out there. In the code, are the following lines: So, the chdir on all other platforms goes to /var/qmail, and, the execv executes from there bin/qmail-queue. The execv (added more code) returns an error 2, or, file not found on Leopard. Could it be a bug in execv on Leoprd when when not using a absolute filename? If so, what is the mechanism to report and hopefully some day get it fixed?
