If you're using the [t]csh shell, you need to run 'rehash' to update your current path. It would be good if the post-everything part of ports would do that when needed. It can't. The rehash has to be executed within the context of your current shell (it's a builtin) and the only place you have that is the command line. Any process you run (like make, portupgrade) has no access to that context. If you are not wedded to tcsh, then bash would do it for you; other shells too, perhaps, but I can't say never having tried them. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: newly installed apps not in path?
I've noticed this behavior since 4.3, but it's just now starting to get really annoying. Whan I install a new application (from ports) I have to execute it with the full path until I start a new shell. (in sh, tcsh, and bash) What causes this behavior, and how can I fix it (cause newly installed apps to be executable without a full path)? This is nothing new. Your shell reads up the stuff in its path when it starts up and makes an internal table so it doesn't have to go fishing around every time you type a command. This is to speed up response and cut down on unnecessary disk accesses. You can make it re-read the path and recreate that table with the 'rehash' shell command. jerry DIT793# which sudo sudo: Command not found. DIT793# portinstall sudo ...
