I know this is trivial and apologize in advance for what must be a simple (non-gentoo) error on my part.
In /home/gottlieb/bin/dia I have the following #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/dia --integrated ls -l /home/gottlieb/bin/dia gives -rwxr-xr-x 1 gottlieb gottlieb 38 Aug 28 11:28 /home/gottlieb/bin/dia echo $PATH gives /home/gottlieb/bin/:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.8.2:/usr/games/bin which dia gives /home/gottlieb/bin/dia `which dia` correctly starts dia in "integrated" (one window) mode /home/gottlieb/bin/dia correctly starts in integrated mode /usr/bin/dia correctly starts dia in the default (two window) mode BUT plain dia incorrectly starts dia in the default mode. What am I missing? thanks, allan
