I have the following in my .stowrc:

--dir=~/opt/stow_all/stow_storage
--target=~/opt/stow_all/stow_appear
--ignore='~'
--ignore='^CVS'

and I have built stow from the git repository at:
~/opt/stow_all/stow_storage/stow_2.2.0_canonical_paths

i.e. the above path holds the actual bin, lib and share for stow.

I am trying to bootstrap stow itself, so I did:
> cd ~/opt/stow_all/stow_storage
> ./stow_2.2.0_canonical_paths/bin/stow stow_2.2.0_canonical_paths

but this returned:

Loading defaults from /home/avazquez/.stowrc
stow: ERROR: canon_path: cannot chdir to ~/opt/stow_all/stow_storage from
/nfs/titan7/u125/opt/stow_all/stow_storage

Is there anything that I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

James
