Has anyone else had frustrating problems with the use of 'which' in Linux mode ? I have some SUN software which I am trying to install. I am running Linux bash to run the install script - running 'uname' returns 'Linux' But the SUn code does 'which uname' to get the path to 'uname' before running it. the ;which' command is a bash builtin, and this returns the '/usr/bin/uname' command rather than '/bin/uname'. Thus it runs /usr/bin;uname, egts the answer 'FreeBSD' and refuses to install. Any ideas ? I did a search on this but didnt come up with any answers. -pcf.
