hi all,
i'm a new arch linux user (long & current gentoo user), i just wanted to try out arch and see how it's like after hearing alot of good things about it.
i proceeded to install voodoo and i must say i'm impressed. smooth installation process and i kinda like pacman the install process was rather quick. but i do have just one tiny question. when i use pacman to install say...firefox. it doesn't seem to update the environment.
ie.
1. pacman -S firefox
2. look for firefox bin to execute and it doesn't exist
but if i reboot, then it's there.
thanks,
ps. good job arch devs!

no need to reboot, just source /etc/profile path variable needs to be updated

Yep, you could confirm this by typing the full path to the installed binary which will probably work fine If not, something else is wrong. And of course most programs are installed in /usr/bin anyway so this problem only occurs with big packages supplying their own /bin directory.

logging out/in also works, or you can export the new $PATH by hand
