Q: Is it a problem that the file jccl-chunks.desc could not be found?

When I run a VR Juggler 1.1 application, I see an error message every time saying that /share/jccl/data/jccl-chunks.desc is an invalid file name. For example, the output looks like this:

VPR_DEBUG_NFY_LEVEL: Not found.
VPR_DEBUG_NFY_LEVEL: Defaults to 1
VPR_DEBUG_ENABLE: Not found.
VPR_DEBUG_ENABLE: Defaults to 1

[ TID: N/A  ] ERR:ChunkDescDB: XMLError:/share/jccl/data/jccl-chunks.desc: line 1 at position 1: error: invalid file name

Is it a problem if that file is not available? What do I have to do to make the error go away?

A: This file is not required, and if it is not available, this will not lead to execution problems.

The message is printed because !CppDOM cannot find the named file. However, the file jccl-chunks.desc is not required for correct execution of VR Juggler applications. It is the default configuration definition file loaded by the JCCL system at runtime, but its contents are not currently used by anything in VR Juggler. (Indeed, most of its contents relate to code that no longer exists.)

If you want the message to go away, simply set the environment variable $JCCL_BASE_DIR to match $VJ_BASE_DIR. Then, the full path will be used to find the file, and there will be no error.
