set path=(~/bin /usr/local/bin $path /Developer/Tools /usr/X11R6/bin)If your account was created while the system was running 10.4 or higher, you would put something like the following in your $HOME/.profile:
PATH=${HOME}/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}:/Developer/Tools:/usr/X11R6/bin export PATHIf you used something like Fink to download/install the software, like Dave mentioned, you'll need to look for where it was installed and tweak your PATH like I showed. Fink and FinkCommander are great tools for the Mac user wanting to work with Unix. The Fink admins have taken thousands of open source packages and figured out what customizations need to be done (if any) to get them to compile on OS X. Like many of the package managers on Linux, you can use Fink to install and of the dependencies for a package automatically, which is the major benefit of using something like this. Fink loads its software into /sw/ (ie: / sw/bin/, /sw/include/, /sw/lib/, ....)

(I'm not a mac guy and don't know how the installer works, but if it didn't just altogether fail silently, then that new versionhas to be on your hard drive *somewhere*!) cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
