Probably your shell has cached the location of the previously installed M4. Run 'hash -r' or equivalent at the command line to make it actually look in the path

Thanks Gary, this was indeed the problem.

BTW, what's the purpose of "hash"? I read the help on it, but it only explains how to use it, not what its rationale is. Clearly it's a command cache, but does looking in the search path for an executable take so much more time that a location cache was warranted in the shell?

Thanks again,
John
