Information I wish I'd known about 2 years ago. Say we've just installed a port, xboard for example, we feel like getting trashed in a chess game. Successful install, no errors, but in response to: >xboard we get: Command not found. So do: >/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb & And go do something else until it's done. Then do: locate xboard And we get more data than we want to look at, ports and such. We can do: locate xboard | more And hunt through all the data but: locate xboard | grep bin Shows easily that the xboard binary is in: /usr/local/bin So we do: /usr/local/bin/xboard And the game is on. Just thought there might be others who would find this to be of interest. ML Duke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
