bash doesn't recognize newly installed programs!

Hello,

Today I have reinstalled 7.2 and then using the ports collection, I've installed a program called cabextract, which is used for extracting MS cab&exe files.

I had previously installed cabextract both on 6.4 and also on 7.2 without any problem and I had managed to run it successfully, e.g.
Code: 
#cabextract Data.exe

used to work and form the cab files.

However, now it doesn't even recognize the command "cabextract".

Could I have missed something? During 7.2 installation I've chosen "all" distributions and almost "all" of the packages.

Waiting for your suggestions,
Thanks.
 
Try again after a [cmd=]hash -r[/cmd]. If that doesn't solve things, see if cabextract actually exists in /usr/local/bin. If it does, see if that path appears in [cmd=]echo $PATH[/cmd].
 
Sounds like csh to me ... does rehash work then?

Code: 
           Command       External    csh(1)    sh(1)
           hash          No          No        Yes
           rehash        No          Yes       No

[cmd=]echo $SHELL[/cmd] will tell you which it is.
 
Bash itself is not a linuxism, it's just the default shell on Linux.

Sorry, out of hurry I've just written it to be bash but, that's right, it's /bin/csh I'm using.

In usr/bin/ there's no entry of "cabextract" though in /usr/port/misc/cabextract /Makefile, PLIST_FILES="bin/cabextract"

Thanks.
 
It's /usr/local/bin/. All ports have /usr/local/ as the install base.
 
#echo $PATH returns

/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:
/usr/bin:/usr/games:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:
/root/bin
 
Pardon me, I had a short appointment, now I'm back.

Code: 
#echo $SHELL
--> /bin/csh (as expected)

Well, I ran rehash and then tried hash -r again, the result is unchanged: hash: command not found.

And, /usr/local/bin/cabextract doesn't exist. I don't know where it's installed.
 
If /usr/local/bin/cabextract doesn't exist, then it's not installed.

What's the output of 'pkg_info -L cabextract\*' ?

'pkg_info -L cabextract\*' returns "can't find package "cabextract*" installed or in a file!"

And just right now now did I realize that I had been running only the command "make" and not "make install". I'm terribly sorry for that. The only excuse I have is that I 've been using the command "automake" all day long, which did not require the install & clean options and that made me forget it in the ports collection.

My apologies & thanks.
