 installation from /stand/sysinstall)
 
 When I had finished the installation, I could
 not run cvsup - command not found.

when you finish an installation, you'll very often have to issue the
'rehash' command, which tells your csh to reread the $PATH which is set in
your .cshrc

if you didn't do this, you'll probably see the command 'magically' appear
after your next boot or if you open another term and su to root.

you do have to run this command as root, btw.;)

 So I thought maybe I had to install from the
 ports collection, so I cd'd to /usr/ports/net/cvsup
 and ran Make.  That seemed to go OK.
 
 Then I did a Make Install.  It stops with error
 code 1. It says cvsup-16.1h already installed.

try 'pkg_info | grep -i cvsup' to see if you do have the program installed.

and, as root, 'echo $PATH'


 I am not sure what I am doing wrong in all this.
 Can anyone spot what it is ?

my first guess would be the 'rehash'.  further guesses would depend upon
what you get from pkg_info and $PATH.

hth,
epi

 (I realise that I shouldnt normally be installing
 from a port just after a package install, but that
 was just because I was out of ideas)
 
 Thanks

Thanks for waving the wand... it did magically appear!!
