I just re-installed BSD 4.6, and I felt that installing packages -vs-
porting might save me some disk space, so during the pre-install
configurations I selected several items (I'll use 3dc  -"3-D Chess" as
an example) from the packages section.  Well, no error messages, but I
can't find it.  So I decided to install it using make install in
/usr/ports/games/3dc.  I got the message that it was already installed,
and I followed the suggestion to run make deinstall and then make
reinstall.  All went fine, except that I can't find it.  Running find
/usr -name "3dc" -print   says "SURE it exists, as a directory in
/usr/ports/games!"   And no module named 3dc exists in my $PATH, which
seems to be in order.

What am I doing wrong?  Even pkg_info says that it is installed, but I
can neither find it nor run it.
