The symbolic link is fine, and is required if you want to use 7Zip from
qsh as well as from PASE (it works in both places if you have that
link). Your problem is that you need to install gcc from the link on
Scott's website. BTW, gcc will want that link to exist as well. Your
life will be a lot easier with it than without it.

My point was, in the event that /QOpenSys/usr/local already exists (which is
not a rare situation), all this will do is to create a directory called
local under /QOpenSys/usr/local. Put another way, the following "link"
/QOpenSys/usr/local/local
Will point to /usr/local

This is probably not what you want. If this condition exists, the process
to clean this up and make it work the way you imply is simple but may not be
intuitive.
