Results:

echo "$PATH"; type mkdir
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/pkg/bin:/us
r/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/games:/usr/p
kg/libexec/xscreensaver:/usr/local/spidermonkey/bin:/usr/pkg
/java/sun-1.4/bin
mkdir is /bin/mkdir
exit 1
make: exec(exit) failed (No such file or directory)

I guess this could have to do with /etc/profile or ~/.shrc. 
However,
using $ like at every other instance in the script
solves that
problem.

Thanks
