Assuming you have the "locate" command, and by virtue, the "updatedb" command, try: locate roadnav Which should give you a list of files...one of which might be the full path to the executable you're looking for. Then, you can either add that path to your profile, or you can specify the full path. If it doesn't find it, try, as root: updatedb Followed again by: locate roadnav If roadnav is not found, after that, then you probably need to retry the installation. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
