[Solved] /usr/bin/* No such file or directory

Time for my first post

I've created a second user, adding him to sudoers. I have also added the AUR-repository to /etc/pacman.conf   ( [community] Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/x86_64/ )
But when I have installed some programs, I am unable to run them (geany for example).
Running geany in terminal gives me:  bash: /usr/bin/geany: The file or directory doesn't exist  (translated from swedish)

Output from the install looks fine:

sudo pacman -S geany
Lösenord:
resolving dependencies... done.
looking for inter-conflicts... done.

Targets: geany-0.11-2 

Total Package Size:   1,03 MB
Total Installed Size:   3,26 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
checking package integrity... done.
cleaning up... done.
(1/1) checking for file conflicts                   [#####################] 100%

NOTE: Install VTE (pacman -S vte) for optional terminal support

Any idéas?

Re: [Solved] /usr/bin/* No such file or directory

" echo $PATH " shows you the user's path settings, maybe, he doesn't have /usr/bin/ there, but this is weird...

Re: [Solved] /usr/bin/* No such file or directory

echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/mozilla/bin

So thats not the problem, can even see the /usr/bin/geany and theres no problem with permissions what I can see.
Im not sure if its related, but adding the community repository in pacman.conf and uncommenting one of the servers in /etc/pacman.d/community didn't make pacman find geany. I had to edit the file and add the server I mentioned in the first post to find geany (and some other programs thats supposed to be in AUR). Perhaps I'm doing something wrong with the repositories? But then it should find geany at all in the first place.

Re: [Solved] /usr/bin/* No such file or directory

hm seems there was some repository problems after all
I edited the community repository. Undid all I had done and added uncommented one of the servers. Did a sync, removed the package (geany) and tried again.  Now it works perfectly

As always it seems to have been a human error, but thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble.
