In the port directory of the program you are installing, the file pkg-plist contains a list of the installed files. The executable is usually going to be the file installed in /usr/local/bin, or /usr/local/sbin. You can also use pkg_info to find what was installed and where it was placed. pkg_info -L PACKAGENAME Here is a link you may find helpful as well: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html - Jamie On Sat, 28 Jun 2003, Ian Todd wrote: > Hi > > I would like to know when u install a port or a package how do u know > what is the executable file and where does it normaly store the > installation files of the port or package? > > Regards > Ian > _______________________________________________________________________ > LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD - WWW.HEALTHIEST.CO.ZA > > Cool Connection, Cool Price, Internet Access for R59 monthly @ WebMail > http://www.webmail.co.za/dialup/ > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > "A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself."
