hi!

I've sucessfully compiled and installed cvs source into /usr/local/bin

Now I was expecting the bash shell to know the 'cvs' command but it doesn't.
Even when I am in the /usr/local/bin dir I am unable to run the cvs command
but its there so what's wrong?
Sorry for the maybe stupid question but I'm pretty new to unix/linux and
would appreciate any help on that!

thanks a lot,
alex

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

Check your PATH env variable, and set it properly
Then, logoff, then log back on, if it still does not work.

... and, if it still doesn't work,

chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/csv

And also don't forget to execute your bash profile file(in linux bash
file is .bash_profile)
