From: Bruce Evans Subject: Re: cvs commit: src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/x2p Makefile > Branch: gnu/usr.bin/perl/x2p RELENG_2_1_0 > Modified: gnu/usr.bin/perl/x2p Makefile > Log: > Bring in: Grab h2ph from /usr/bin, not /usr/local/bin! from head Er, it was grabbed from $PATH. The standard PATH (in /root and in /usr/share/skel) has /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin, so there is no problem. There is no reason to expect /usr/src to be buildable if $PATH is nonstandard. (I used to compile with a local version of cc even when I didn't want to until I renamed it gcc.) Bruce
