How can I make Ubuntu run a binary file in /usr/local/bin, when such file compiled from sources has a same name as a REMOVED/DELETED file from debian package that used to be in /usr/bin? - /usr/local/bin is in my PATH - shell files that I create in /usr/local/bin can be run from any directory. - but binary file compiled from sources that REPLACES a deb package file does not run unless full path is specified. Details: I want hnb (Hierarchical Notebook). I installed it via apt-get and it installed into /usr/bin but it exhibited some errors, so I removed the hnb deb package. I got hnb sources, compiled and installed them. The hnb binary is in /usr/local/bin. Under the superuser, hnb runs without specifying the full path. Under non-privileged user, running hnb without specifying the full path results in this error message: -bash: /usr/bin/hnb: No such file or directory I have never seen this behaviour under Mandriva. What configuration is responsible for this? -- Milos Prudek -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> Try typing " which hnb" as root and remove it. You could also link /usr/local/bin/hnb to /usr/bin if it does not exist there something like " ln -s /usr/local/bin/hnb /usr/bin/hnb "
