I'm guessing the problem is that by default, most distributions put programs in 
/usr/bin, but when compiling from source, things usually go in /usr/local/bin 
(because they were compiled locally).

This means that you'll probably have *two* copies of Pan installed. To check my 
theory, type:

ls -l /usr/bin/pan /usr/local/bin/pan

If this is the case, then to start the new version of pan, type 
"/usr/local/bin/pan" instead of just "pan".

In the future when you compile things, instead of "./configure" you might want 
to run this command instead:

../configure --prefix=/usr

And this will cause the new program to be installed into /usr/bin instead of 
/usr/local/bin.
