I see this on Intel, and something slightly different, but with a  
similar effect, on PowerPC (I already sent the details to Maarten).

It depends on your shell, but if you use 'bash',

    echo $PATH

will show you what sequence of directories will be searched when you  
type an unqualified (no '/'s) command name.  This is a list, like so:

     /usr/bin:/bin:.:/usr/local/bin...

The ':'s separate directory path names.  To remove "/sw/bin",  
assuming it is there, do something like this:
     copy pieces of the output above, eliminating "/sw/bin" (and  
noting that ':' is a separator), and then paste the pieces (they  
automatically go where they should) to end up with a line like this:

     export PATH=...

Justin
