Today I tried

danengel@ibook:~> where gs
/usr/local/bin//gs
/usr/local/bin//gs
/usr/local/bin/gs

WTF is the double slash? And why do I get three times the same path?

Thanks,
Daniel

I think you have some wierdness in your $PATH. Do this:

echo $PATH

to see what it is. I bet you have something in your $PATH that looks like:

whatever:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/

The / at the end of the line will give you the effect you notice. A quick think will tell you why it does that.
To figure out how it got that way... take a look in one of your ~/.files Like ~/.cshrc

danengel@ibook:~> echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/Users/danengel/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/Users/danengel/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin

Thank, god, I'm saved You were right. Thanks a lot, utidjian!
