Some third-party programs installs their links in /usr/bin
but it doesn't work.
This is a general issue for games who are installed by a loki installer and is only possible to do it with the installer. Example: Enemy Territory is installed but launching the game doesn't work: bash: et: command not found I know there is AUR but sometimes you can't download everything on slow connections... |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Won't fix
Additional comments about closing: Packaging problem. /usr/local/bin is not in Arch's default path. Feel free to configure your machine properly

/usr/bin/enemy-territory is a symlink to /opt/enemy-territory/et
to run Enemy Territory call enemy-territory instead of et
I made an error.
Some (loki) programs/installers installs their links in /usr/local/bin
Enemey Territory for exempla has 2 links: /usr/local/bin/et(ded)
When calling et(ded) in a prompt the command is not found.
P.S.: I'm not talking about the AUR build of ET :)
There is export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin" in default /etc/profile
Those installers or packages should be modified to install in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin, IMO.
P.S. check that you've added /usr/local/bin to your PATH and echo $PATH shows it.
So it would be great to add this by default to $PATH even if no package should be packaged like that...
It's a personal meaning :)
