Besides the comments that some others have made, you might want to learn about which(1), although in the case of flightgear it might not have helped much because the installed name is a bit hard to guess from the name of the port. But, most binaries pretty much follow the name of the port. That 'rehash' is also important. When you first start a csh or tcsh shell, it sets up a known picture of where things it knows about live. If you add something, it will ot know about it until something happens to cause it to remake its list. The Rehash command will do that. Run it before running the which. ////jerry > Yours Sincerely > Jim van Dooren. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
