[SOLVED] Command path is in PATH but bash does not find the command.

These commands would probably have helped faster:

Code:

which nasm
type nasm

Could the symptoms be explained by an errant command_not_found_handle() function? Or, more likely, a shopt -u checkhash setting?

I also had this problem so decided to check out bash hashing and found an article on bradconte.com about bash path hashing. It seems to indicate that not re-searching the $PATH is normal.
