This is a non-standard way to install, and there is nothing in the documentation to prepare the user for it. As a result, most peopke will be unable to even start the program. In view of the fact that this bug means that the program can't even be started, I'm giving it the category "serious". >How-To-Repeat: $ cd /usr/ports/devel/sourcenav $ make install $ snavigateor bash: snavigator: command not found >Fix: Install in /usr/local, not /usr/local/snavigator. If there are serious reasons to keep the latter hierarchy, it should be well documented, and the documentation should be installed locally (maybe it is, but that fact it not documented). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
