===Launcher Shortcut Issues===
Your EVE launcher shortcut may fail with the following error:
:{{code|/bin/sh: {{Color|orange|warning}}: shell level (1000) too high, resetting to 1}}
This, and other errors, are likely due to the fact that the "dirname" and "pwd" commands will return the location of the soft link, not of the shell script itself.
As a workaround, make the following changes to /path/to/evelauncher/evelauncher.sh:
:{{code|#!/bin/sh <br>{{Color|green|appname<nowiki>=</nowiki>"evelauncher"<br>}}<br>{{Color|green|dirname<nowiki>=</nowiki>"/path/to/evelauncher"}}<br>tmp<nowiki>=</nowiki>"${dirname#?}"<br><br>if [ "${dirname%$tmp}" !<nowiki>=</nowiki> "/" ]; then<br>{{Color|green|dirname<nowiki>=</nowiki>"/path/to/evelauncher"}}<br>fi<br>LD_LIBRARY_PATH<nowiki>=</nowiki>"$dirname:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"<br>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH<br>export QTDIR<nowiki>=</nowiki>$dirname<br>export QT_PLUGIN_PATH<nowiki>=</nowiki>$dirname/plugins<br>"$dirname/$appname" "$@"}}
:'''Note:''' The first change is necessary only if you choose to give your soft link a different name.
