Hey,
When I install a package such as "zip" using the pkg_add command, the zip software cannot be accessed via my path until a logff and logon. I am logging in as root to do this. If I attempt to "zip --help" right after executing "pkg_add -r zip" I receive the message "Command not found". I can see the program in /usr/local/bin, but I cannot execute the command via my path until I logoff and back on.
I assume there is something fundamental about the operating system that I am not understanding. Typically, for instance, in windows if you place an executable somewhere in your path you can use that program immediately without logging on or off.
Thanks in advance,
A Noob
