 Why is that? Is there any way around that?


You need to rehash to have the system re-establish the files in your 
path.

Re: Can't run a port right after an install

Assuming tcsh, the command is:

  rehash  Causes  the internal hash table of the contents of the directo-
  ries in the path variable to be recomputed.  This is needed  if
  new  commands  are  added  to directories in path while you are
  logged in.  This should be necessary only if you  add  commands
  to  one  of  your  own  directories, or if a systems programmer
  changes the contents of one of the  system  directories.   Also
  flushes the cache of home directories built by tilde expansion.

Take a few minutes to browse the manpage for tcsh - lots of interesting
stuff.

 Hi All,
 
I've been noticing that whenever I install a port, I can't ever run the 
 executable right off the bat, instead I have to close a consoel and re-open 
 one in order to get the program to be in my (I am guessing) search path.
 
 Why is that? Is there any way around that?
 
 Thanks,
 -Jason
