what happens if you type either ..... type hnb or which hnb -Ants Milos Prudek <prudek@bvx.cz> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> I am new to Ubuntu. 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.
