Does it merge the content of the two files, or take one over the other? I suspect that it is merging them. In that case, I think simfactory should complain very loudly if there is a ~/.cactus/config file, as the options you are using will be a mixture of the optionlist configured for the machine and the one in ~/.cactus/config. I'm still dubious about the benefit of having ~/.cactus/config. I think it is used rarely enough by the main developers that it probably isn't tested well, and issues like this tend to get overlooked.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One example of where this causes confusion is if you have MPI = … in ~/.cactus/config, and MPI_DIR = in your optionlist. The MPI thorn complains about MPI being set even though it isn't set in your optionlist, so the error message makes no sense to the user.</div>
