Right, but it *does* still still find it in the non-standard path if the standard one doesn't exist which at least makes me think the search path actually contains the new extraction (somehow; again I'm clueless on the extraction steps). If the new paths are added in the front of the search path instead of the end, the problem would likely go away (and leaving the system paths at the end would likely still allow some of the bootstrapping issues to not reappear (assuming there are any; again: I don't know)) -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett
