Red face Disregard :Executable, but not in path.


************Disregard this question******************

I realized that I had an instance of mozilla 1.5 running so when I type mozilla the first thing it looked for was an instance of mozilla and when it saw it it just opened a new window. Close all running versionof moz and then things work correctly. Sorry.



Hi,
Big time newbie question here. I recently installed RH9. It comes standard with Mozilla 1.2.1. I installed Mozilla 1.5 in my /usr/local/mozilla directory. I wanted to play with that but leave 1.2.1 in place in case I messed something up. I downloaded the installer and ran it and everything went fine. If (while using my normal, non-root account) I use the path /usr/local/mozilla/ and run mozilla then 1.5 runs just fine. When I try typing mozilla (with no path info) from my home directory it still runs 1.5. I checked my PATH and /usr/local/mozilla was not in it. I checked the ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, /etc/bashrc, /etc/profile and I don't see mozilla mentioned anywhere.
When I create a new user and type mozilla from the command line, it runs 1.2.1. So obviously I have some sort of path or symbolic link somewhere that ties the new version of mozilla to my normal account. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks.
