#25 Python installation location on FreeBSD
Just upgraded to ASK 2.3beta, following the upgrade
instructions, I received no errors.
However, mail being received gets bounced with an error:
Below is an excerpt from my maillog file...

Hello Peter,
That's a very important report. A few questions:
1) Does it *always* happens or only once in a while?
2) What does the sender get as a response?
3) Can you reproduce it easily?
4) Do you use procmail? If so, would it be possible to turn
VERBOSE=on inside your .procmailrc and send me the resulting
logfile?

Hello Pagi,
1) Always happens...
2) Sender gets a response that says the following email
address had permanent failure errors... Unknown Mailer Error
127.
3) Nope, no procmail... Just Sendmail.

Here is a copy of what a user sees... Just noticed
something... env: python: No such file or directory
Wonder if that has something to do with it?

Hello Peter...
Hmmm...
That means python is not being found on your system using
the default PATH.
Please, send me the results of:
1) echo $PATH
2) type python

Any more ideas on this?

Found the problem...
in ask.py at the top you had: #!/usr/bin/env python
Python is installed (on FreeBSD anyway) in /usr/local/bin
Once I changed that, ask worked fine...

This will be moved to the bug section, because the
documentation should state this somehow.
