I have just started using (evaluating) perforce and have this problem.

I have set `root' to /home/staff/noel/prj'.

; cd /home/staff/noel/prj/ssp ; ls Makefile ssp.1 ssp.c ; p4 add ssp.c Path '/home/staff/noel/ssp.c' is not under client's root '/home/staff/noel/prj'. ; p4 add /home/staff/noel/prj/ssp/ssp.c //depot/prj/ssp/ssp.c#1 - opened for add

Chapter 3 of the user guide suggests that it isn't necessary to use absolute path names for adding files - the section in question showing

$ cd ~/elm/doc $ p4 add elm-help.* //depot/elm_proj/doc/elm-help.0#1 - opened for add . . etc, where `root' was set to `/usr/edk/elm'.

Have I incorrectly configured something?
