If the current directory isn't in your PATH environment variable,
you cannot launch 'gnome' writing 'gnome' alone, but you have to
specify the path, eg:
$ cd /sw/bin
$ ./gnome
(Now, if gnome resides in /sw/bin, the program will be launched)
Useful commands are:
$ which gnome
(answer nothing if gnome isn't in your PATH)
$ echo $PATH
(outs the list of directories in your PATH, separated
by ":")
For Fink users:
$ fink list | grep -i gnome | less
(list all available packages related to Gnome)
$ fink list | grep -i gnome | grep "^ i" | less
(list all _installed_ packages related to Gnome)
Not so usefull, but for the curious Unix user, the list
of all available programs is:
$ echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ' | xargs ls - | less
(each of them can be invoced at the command line, eg
ls will be resolved as /bin/ls because /bin is in the
PATH)
