hello I am new to freeBSD so bare with the stupid questions
(updated ports did port snap yadayada..)
trying to use the valgrind mod (http://valgrind.org/)
i have mounted proc
and ee fstab according to google's instruction
then did a make install in the valgrind ports directory.
I
have no idea what is considered normal or if it is blowing up, I get lots of
text that i dont fully understand ill copy and paste some just to make
sure its the norm.

A. is that normal ^^ ?
B. I should be able to do --version and get the version right? no matter what directory I am in?
It is telling me command not found so did i not install it properly or do i have to be in a special directory?
I did the echo $path command and went to all the listed locations to try and run the --version command to no avail.
again thanks for helping a noob out.

Yeah, that looks normal. It should be fairly obvious if a port build
fails i.e it tells you in fairly certain terms. If that is the case,
post the error messages & a few lines before it starts to blow up.

Maybe ;)

An easy way to see whether a command is in your path is whereis(1)
What you probably have to do is:
# rehash
if you're root or
$ hash
if you're an ordinary user. These commands make your shell rescan the
dirs in it's $PATH.

No worries.
A couple of tips for the future: address your questions to questions@
rather than chat@ and preface your question with the output of:
$ uname -rms

The uname -rms command only works on the HURD operating system. It returns the current running version of Richard Stallman on stdout. For FreeBSD users, I suggest the alternate uname -smr command, which returns their OSname, OSversion, and arch on stdout.

Sure. That is just make telling you what it is doing. If make fails
with an error it will report "Stop Error Code 1" or somesuch.

If the program has a --version option and the binary is installed in a
directory that is listed in $PATH, then yes. Not all programs have a
--version option.

If your path statement doesn't include the directory where valgrind is
installed, then doing what you have tried will never find valgrind.
Your path should probably include /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin.
Try this:
find / -name prog_name
to discover the location of prog_name. Then see if that directory is in
your path.
If the binary is installed in the $PATH, then trying to run the program
from each directory is redundant. By the way, to run a program from the
current working directory, you must use the command './prog_name' to be
sure that you are running the command from the current directory and not
some other program of the same name in a different directory listed in
$PATH. In DOS, the current working directory is searched for programs
before the $PATH. Not so in the typical unix shell.
We typically ask questions on the freebsd-questions list.
Later,
Jason

If RMS runs like the HURD, then he's probably suffering from some
lengthy, terminal disease ;)
FreeBSD should return the OS details for uname -beast
Could be used in send-pr etc. and is easy to remember like -rms!
