Is your shell hashing and saving the old location? $ type autoconf autoconf is hashed (/usr/bin/autoconf) $ hash -r $ type autoconf autoconf is /usr/local/bin/autoconf If you are using bash then try 'help hash' to get more information. You might want to explore using the 'shopt -o checkhash' configuration.
