Boy, for the most part NetBSD seems just like home, but other times...
OK, I'm having an odd problem, see the transcript below my sig.
I do a printenv, and notice the PATH line, /usr/local/bin is clearly in my
path. The I type python, but it says command not found, even though it is
in /usr/local/bin. But, if I do /usr/local/bin/python, it works fine. What
gives here? Surely I'm missing something.
However, other programs in /usr/local/bin run just fine without me having
to type the full path.
