Hi, Ralf,
Sorry for the delay.
The reason is that we were given a java program by a vendor that
requires files to be placed in a lib directory in the same directory as
the java program. We try to keep all of our binary executables in the
same place, namely /usr/local/bin. Hence the need for a
/usr/local/bin/lib directory. I agree it's not ideal, but we have to
work with what we get.
Thanks,
Jim
