Hi, I tried emerging SCID (a chess database) and it seems to install okay, but 
the executable is placed in /usr/games/bin instead of /usr/bin.  That 
directory isn't in the path, so when I cd to the /usr/games/bin directory and 
invoke it with ./scid, it looks for, but can't find, the executable called 
tkscid.  It is also there, but since the directory isn't in the path, it can't 
find it.

I can add the director /usr/games/bin to my path, but I'm guessing that the 
person who did the ebuild really wanted to put the executables in /usr/bin and 
I wanted to give him or her a heads-up.

Thanks,
-Robert

`env-update ; source /etc/profile`

I don't understand the comment from SpanKY.
