Hi Jérôme, nice that my hints solved your problem. There's only one more thing I'd like to learn:

And if the shell parses the commandline in advance and replaces "latex" by "/usr/bin/latex" internally, why does Jérôme get the error message > lstat(./latex) failed ... > ./latex: No such file or directory And, just for curiosity, how can I see to what PATH is set when "env -i" is used? $ env -i echo $PATH gives /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/frank/bin because $PATH is substituted by the shell before env starts. If I protect the variable from shell expansion, how can I make "someone" read it again: $ env -i eval echo '$PATH' env: eval: No such file or directory I guess Florent could answer this, but I haven't heard from him for ages.
