I've noticed this behavior since 4.3, but it's just now starting to

Whan I install a new application (from ports) I have to execute it

What causes this behavior, and how can I fix it (cause newly installed
apps to be executable without a full path)?
If you're using the [t]csh shell, you need to run 'rehash' to update your
current path. It would be good if the post-everything part of ports would do
that when needed.
It can't. The rehash has to be executed within the context of your
current shell (it's a builtin) and the only place you have that is the
command line. Any process you run (like make, portupgrade) has no
access to that context.
If you are not wedded to tcsh, then bash would do it for you; other
shells too, perhaps, but I can't say never having tried them.
