I’ve streamlined the newest version of the script and hopefully caught all cases. It should handle manual and automatic installation gracefully now.

I have another suggest about how the build script check gnuclad. It currently find gnuclad in fixed location /usr/local/bin/gnuclad. That might not be right place for distro’s official packages, or for people like me installing on my own ~/bin/gnuclad.

Here is my changes:

-type -P $GC &>/dev/null || { echo “gnuclad not found: aborting” >&2; exit 1;}
+GC=$(which gnuclad 2>/dev/null)
+[ "$?" != "0" ] &if [ "$VERS" == "svg" ]; then
$GC $PROJNAME.csv svg $PROJNAME.conf
exit 0;

It can be `type -P gnuclad` (bash builtin) instead of `which`, but it seems all scripts I have seen use `which`.

Here’s an alternative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RedHat.svg,
although even the Wikipedia version can’t be distributed completely freely.

I have improved the build script for the next version to handle such errors a bit better. You can already download it.

I guess it’s about the permission of inclusion of Red Hat logo, so the file is not included.

I only have four images in the source tarball. Are there image missing included?

@cc-by-sa:
Could you please offer a rationale?
