Well yeah, but I'm so used to whereis :) I guess since I'm getting used to the /opt/local dir now instead of /usr/ I should get used to a new command. find is kind of slow, though. That's why I liked whereis. which seems to work just fine too. Thanks. On Apr 5, 2007, at 7:34 PM, Gerald Hilts wrote:

If you have the /opt/local directories set up in your path before the /usr directories, you can use the "which" command. If not you can use "find".

Of course, when I do a "whereis" it gives me stuff in /usr/bin. How do I get whereis to show me the path in /opt/local? Alex Kac - President and Founder Web Information Solutions, Inc. - Microsoft Certified Partner
