Brian, 

This is a ode setup problem (as you already know). I'm forwarding your mail
to the odehelp alias that will go to someone in the ode support group. They
will be able to help you out.

Mark,
	I haven't received any reply at all from odehelp, and I still 
cannot run the command:
mksb -back /usr/sde/ode2.0/tutorial/build/tutorial1.0b000 - dir ~/sandboxes 
-verbose my_sand

What it does is successfully create a .sandboxrc file in my home directory,
finds the backing tree OK, names the sandbox and creates the directory to 
contain it, creates new src, obj, export, rc_files, and tools dirs.,
creates a backing tree link to the tutorial named by -back, successfully 
names the contents of the rc file and its entered values, builds the default
set my_sand, reads the newly created rc file .sandboxrc, sets the env.
variable SANDBOX to my_sand, sets the env. variable BCSSET to 
Brian_Masinick_my_sand.

At that point it fails with the following message: 

cannot find include file /usr/sde/tutorial/config/global.rc_files
Error parsing rc description file ../link/rc_files/shared
Error parsing rc description file ./shared
> >  Removing sandbox /home/masinick/sandboxes/my_sand.

> >> FATAL ERROR in mksb:

I believe the problem is that the tutorial files have been moved to a different
location when the tutorial version changed, but the shell script(s) and/or
programs used in the tutorial have NOT been changed accordingly.

I've been trying to get this working for several days now without success.
Who can I contact from ODEHELP to try and get something done here?  I'd
very much appreciate some attention to this problem.

Thank you,
Brian
