E.g., for automake14, you would have: /usr/local/libexec/automake14/aclocal -> /usr/local/bin/aclocal14 /usr/local/libexec/automake14/automake -> /usr/local/bin/automake14 etc etc Then you could just add the appropriate libexec/autowhatever dir to the front of the path. -- Alan Eldridge "Dave's not here, man."
