you should use 'which' instead of 'whereis'. 'whereis' doesn't search /opt/local, by default, even if it's in your PATH. 'which' does, though. you might also want to use 'type', if you're running bash. 'type' has the comfort of offering a '-a' for "all" parameter (see below. $whereis bash /bin/bash $which bash /opt/local/bin/bash $type bash bash is /opt/local/bin/bash $type -a bash bash is /opt/local/bin/bash bash is /bin/bash Regards, Elias Pipping On Apr 6, 2007, at 2:20 AM, Alex Kac wrote:
