That copy will not be found unless prefixed with a ./

If you are on linux, edit _your_ .bashrc, and add that directory to the 
PATH being exported when the terminal is launched.

This should be treated as an ordering sensitive list, as in if you have 
built something from the tarball, the default install with be in the 
$PREFIX the .configure script used, which is generally in the /usr/local 
tree.

So put the /usr/local stuff before the default system path so it will be 
found there as opposed to running some package-manager installed old 
version it found first.

Example from a terminal emulator screen freshly opened: This is all one 
line.
/opt/toolshed/build/unix/os9:/home/gene/eagle/dru/bin:/home/gene/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/home/gene/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/trinity/bin:/usr/

I see /usr/local/bin is in there twice.  The 2nd one came from the 
pre-existing :$PATH at the end of the 'export PATH=' line in that file.
No biggie.  I run some scripts here to take care of lots of little stuff, 
and it was easier to put them in my /home/gene/bin directory than to 
keep track of where I did put them when its time to do some maintenance 
on them.
