Hi Daniel,

This is a bug I hadn't realized was introduced in the recent overhaul of genBSDF.  Apparently, the character information gets stripped out and I wasn't replacing it as I should have been.  I just checked in a change that should fix the problem.

Thanks for pointing it out!

Cheers,
-Greg

I don't know why you decided to put everything there rather than /usr/local, but in any case, the shell won't find commands unless it knows where to look for them.
