| May 7, 2016 at 1:38 | comment | added | cas | what's so bad about coreutils 8.4 that you have to have a local install of version 8.25? wouldn't it be better to just write your scripts etc so that they used the system version of coreutils? | |

You should find a way to address the problems properly. Having multiple versions of the same software is a good way of getting weird problems for nothing. | |

| May 6, 2016 at 23:37 | comment | added | user001 | @FaheemMitha : I am using a cluster and don't want to use the provided version of coreutils, which I am unable to change. So I have put another version in my home directory for personal use. | |
| May 6, 2016 at 23:35 | comment | added | Faheem Mitha | You appear to have a local installation of coreutils. Why? It's generally a bad idea to have local installs unless really necessary, and in this case, I don't see the necessity. | |
