>Description:
The port /usr/ports/devel/sourcenav installs in the directory
hierarchy /usr/local/sourcenav. This is a non-standard way to
install, and there is nothing in the documentation to prepare
the user for it. As a result, most peopke will be unable to
even start the program.
In view of the fact that this bug means that the program can't
even be started, I'm giving it the category "serious".
>How-To-Repeat:
$ cd /usr/ports/devel/sourcenav
$ make install
$ snavigateor
bash: snavigator: command not found
>Fix:
Install in /usr/local, not /usr/local/snavigator. If there
are serious reasons to keep the latter hierarchy, it should be
well documented, and the documentation should be installed
locally (maybe it is, but that fact it not documented).
