Hello,

Today I upgraded my gftp. Now I'm getting something that has happened
before, but I never thought much of it. OK, prior to my upgrade:

kevin@naia:~/tmp/gftp-2.0.15$ which gftp
/usr/bin/gftp

So I removepkg'd gftp, everything went fine. I compiled the new one
(/usr/local prefix), and did make install - no problems.

kevin@naia:~/tmp/gftp-2.0.15$ which gftp
/usr/local/bin/gftp

Looks good. So now I go to run it:

kevin@naia:~$ gftp
-bash: /usr/bin/gftp: No such file or directory


Where is bash getting that from?? I know I can get it to run by opening
another shell, but I want to know why this happens. Anyone know?

Kevin

'man bash' has all the details. search for 'hash'. bash keeps a table of
full paths to binaries in $PATH. you can empty this table with 'hash
-r'. (see 'man bash', section SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS.)

since when is vi an editor? a discussion on vi belongs in
comp.tools.unusable or something... ;-)

Use a "SlackBuild" script to build a slack-package to install it
with.

Thanks for that, i didn't now that either.
Just a little more readable (in IMO) would be to fire off:

help hash

perfect! I knew someone out there had the answer. I tried searching
the bash man page before, but wasn't really sure what I was looking
for. Thanks!

tcsh also keeps a hashed table, which you can rebuild with "rehash".
Only "." is excepted, new executables there will always be seen.

Nothing like sticking a fish in your ear to help clear things up! LOL
