I think maybe you have misunderstood what $PATH is. You don't have binaries in that variable, you have directories which are to be searched for binaries. So removing the old binary would mean removing the directory it is in, and then you would lose every other binary in there.
The correct solution is the one you fould yourself, to add the new directory where your new binary is, to $PATH, either first, or at least before the directory where the old binary is
Or, quick/easy, simply add an alias to the user which calls the wanted app by a different name or the same name and defines the *wanted* app. ~/.alias alias [app-name]=/path/to/wanted-app the aliased app will be called before bash accesses $PATH When/if you decide which app is the more desirable, remove the unwanted app and the alias (not really necessary but *cleaner*).. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
