And "which <name>" can work similarly, but you need to know the name to ask for. If it's not the same as the port name, you need to find it out first. This particular Haskell port werks that way: There is no "haskell" binary installed by that name. If the port installed is a metaport, you need to track some references (Makefile or pkg-plist) or check the info in the package database at /var/db/pkg. The port name in question was "hs-haskell-platform", and by doing the previously mentioned investigation, it's probably the "ghc" or "runhaskell" command. I'm not familiar with Haskell, so I can only guess. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
