wget question: was Re: [NTLUG:Discuss] Broken calendar in Evolution

[Wayne Dahl]

Ok, I have now officially lost my mind.  I meekly submit myself for any
flagellation deemed necessary.  I could have SWORE I saw a version 1.4.1
on MadHat's X-Mailer, but going back and looking at the past few emails,
I see they're 1.4.0.  sigh.  I'm getting too old for this.  Just ignore
me and maybe I'll go away.

On the other hand, I do have a legitimate question about wget.  When I
went to use wget from the directions on the Ximian website, of course I
opened a terminal window and su'd to root, then attempted wget -p -O -
etc for the Ximian download site and got an error that bash couldn't
find wget.  I was in my home directory and thinking bash couldn't find
the wget command, I did a locate for it, found it in /usr/bin, so I cd'd
to /usr/bin and ran it just fine from there.  This tells me it isn't in
the path for root to find it, correct?  Or is this too much from the
Windoze camp?  If it's not in the path, where do you add it to the path
statement?  I know where to go to find it in Windoze, but not so in
Linux.  This is actually the first time I've run across this problem
since I've started running Linux...and oh, this is a RH 8.0 box.

Thanks,

Wayne
