I think not...

rehash is part of csh (or tcsh, not sure). When csh starts, it creates a
table of all executable programs in the path. If you add a new one, you
won't be able to run it without typing the full path, unless you use the
rehash command, which re-creates that table.
I can't remember where I saw that.

Well, it seems that you need X11 to build pnetlib, unless rhys has patched
the makefile for Xsharp and windows.forms...

good. I don't know why I needed to update them. Specially libtool; I
couldn't build anything until I updated all that stuff.

Glad to have helped.
