Now I find myself with a set of gzip utils in /usr/bin/ (system) and one in /usr/local/ (ports). Is there a command equivalent to "use.perl ports" for gzip, os by default the ports version is used? Couldnt find one, nor a setting for make.conf or rc.conf. Yes, i could have made the base of the port = /usr rather than /usr/local but i though that would modify too much.. This is a 4.11 server. TIA, Beto
