Even root is not allowed to execute a directory. :) Out of curiosity, I downloaded the package, though I didn't install it. Possibly you already know that this is a linux program. Therefore you need to have linux_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf. Your first problem, though, is that the package installs a wrapper script as /compat/linux/bin/aim that I believe is supposed to be /usr/local/bin/aim instead. So of course it is not in your search path. Verify that the script is there, and, if it is, try copying it to the correct location. ___ 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"

Basically it does the same thing. I used the pkg_add as I said, and once I finished, I did the rehash thing, and then logging in and out doesn't seem to change it. Is there a chance the package itself is messy? I was told to try whereis and did so, and it said /usr/ports/net-im/aim and when I typed the direct path, it said permission denied, so I tried su to root, and ran it again, and it said the same thing...Which is a little strange being root. If it says something like this: > whereis aim aim: /usr/ports/net-im/aim aim is not installed. an installed pkg will look something like this: > whereis pidgin pidgin: /usr/local/bin/pidgin /usr/local/man/man1/pidgin.1.gz /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin ___ 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"
