Either specify the full path when you run the command or re-source (e.g. source ~/.cshrc for csh/tcsh) your login file. It probably has something to do with caching of the filesystems but I don't know the exact details. I just know I need to reset my path every time I install a new program for it to be found even though the program may already be in your search path. > > I recently installed Mesa-2.5 on my FreeBSD v2.2.5 system.
