I tried did that last night and recently, it doesn't work very well same as
what full path does. I am not sure exactly why it doesn't work. I did
"${LOCALBASE}/bin/mplayer", it will keep say it's broke when I already have
mplayer installed. Do I need to put something speical inside the exists()?

Because, MPlayer has a lot of options to install it. So, I thought it would
be good idea to force users to go to the ports and install by theirselves
with extra options. Am I making any sense?
Thanks,
Mezz
