This indicates a likely error in your PATH variable. BASH uses
the PATH variable to search for command files.

You probably need to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH variable.
A possible fix is to add in .profile, .bashrc, or wherever you prefer
a line like:

	export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

You may need to add other things to the PATH variable.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
