Subject: Executable confusion!
I am attempting to update the pilot-link package on my Fedora Core 3
from source. The previous version from packages is 0.11.8. I
downloaded the source for version 0.12.0-pre4.

After running './configure' and 'make' as a normal user. I ran 'make
install' as root. Everything appears to have worked fine. But now
watch this series of commands issued as root:

# pilot-xfer --version

`--------------------------------------------'
This is pilot-xfer, from pilot-link version 0.11.8

Build target..: i386-redhat-linux-gnu
Build date....: Aug 9 2004 04:10:03

pilot-link 0.11.8 is covered under the GPL/LGPL
See the file COPYING under docs for more info.

Please use -h for more detailed options.
# which pilot-xfer
/usr/local/bin/pilot-xfer
# /usr/local/bin/pilot-xfer --version
DEPRECATED: The application is calling print_splash()

This is /usr/local/bin/pilot-xfer, from pilot-link version 0.12.0-pre4

Build target..: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Build date....: Oct 4 2005 21:13:14

pilot-link 0.12.0-pre4 is covered under the GPL/LGPL
See the file COPYING under docs for more info.

Please use --help for more detailed options.

Behold my confusion! When issued without the path, the 'pilot-xfer'
reports the old version 0.11.8. The 'which' command reports only *one*
pilot-xfer in $PATH. When issued with the full path, the pilot-xfer'
reports the new version.

How can this be? How do I correct it?
