- Ok, I'm an idiot.
-
- in response to why an executable wouldn't work, it was pointed
-
- out to me (thanks Matt) that the . dir has to be in the PATH
-
- statement. I looked in my /etc/profile, and it looked like this:
-
- PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X386/bin."
-
- notice the missing ":" before the "."
-
- I was using SLS p5, so I don't know if the profile came like
-
- that, or if I accidentally altered it sometime.
-
- thanks for the responses.
-
- later,
-
- Alvin...
