Curious - I still have a previous source environment (emc2-dev), as well 
as a new environment
(linuxcnc-dev). Running 'which comp' from new environment gives null 
response:

    lloyd@lloyd-acer:~/linuxcnc-dev$ which comp
    lloyd@lloyd-acer:~/linuxcnc-dev$

  running from old environment finds comp - in the new environment :

      lloyd@lloyd-acer:~/emc2-dev$ which comp
      /home/lloyd/linuxcnc-dev/bin/comp

seems there is some environment variable out of alignment - and my *nix 
experience is at least a decade out of date
