Try doing make clean; make prefix=/usr sudo make prefix=/usr install and see if it works. If it does, some program somewhere is manipulating your $PATH. Otherwise I'm at my wits end.

Is it possible that your wish is stripping away $HOME/bin from your PATH? Could you try the following? $ wish % git-rev-list (If a lot of SHA1s are whizzing by, you can Ctrl-C it, and I am wrong.)

It seems that once wish is executed, $PATH does not include anymore my $HOME/bin directory. Do you have any idea why ?

In Finland and Sweden Andrea without the "s" is a girls name, while Andreas with the "s" (or André without "-as") is a boy. It's not even very rare. "Andrea" was the 84th most popular female name in Sweden in 2000. It can be confusing, since in Italy (and, I think, southern Germany and much of Eastern Europe), "Andrea" is a boy, and in fact, the name originally comes from the Greek meaning "man". In the rest of the world, Andrea seems to mostly female, but it probably depends on where the cultural influences come from. So leaving off the "s" can be very strange to the recipient.

Andrea does indeed mean 'man' in the sense of 'human being' (think android). It was a form of flattery in ancient Greece, where being, with every breath, as human (or humane, which was originally the same) as possible was considered the best anyone could hope to be. Alas, that meaning has long since been somewhat watered. Andreas stems from Andros and means "powerful protective guardian" in the sense of a totem. Chicks dig that. ;) > In the rest of the world, Andrea seems to mostly female, but it probably > depends on where the cultural influences come from. > > So leaving off the "s" can be very strange to the recipient. > Personally I don't mind. I just thought it weird that so many are doing it. Thanks for the clarification though. It killed a full ten minutes of dull late-monday work of debugging other peoples perl-scripts. Oh well.

In Italy Andrea might be a girl as well even if that name is often used for a boy.
