Subject: Re: change into symlink directory - how?

Thanks for the answer.

I hoped that softlinks are "transparent" to the user. I have mapped 
several folders into ONE root folder.

In the bash I can switch between these folders very easily (cd ../a, cd 
../b)
--> In ruby I cannot switch between these folders because the resulting 
path is the target of the symlink. This is not very nice.

Imho "chdir(mydir)" should change into the softlink dir and 
"chdir(File.readlink(mydir))" should change into the target dir.

Maybe anyone else knows a trick or has an idea? Or is that a feature 
request?
