-bash: ack-grep: command not found #553

Closed kenorb closed 9 years ago

kenorb commented 9 years ago

I've installed ack using brew install ack on OS X 10.9.5, however I've the following error:

-bash: ack-grep: command not found

I've checked the script, but actually nowhere it refers to ack-grep, apart of the comments. Is something is broken, or I should do some symbolic linking manually?

ack-grep was/is the name of the binary and package of Ack in older Debian releases and Debian derivatives (like Ubuntu) because there was already a Kanji converter called ack in Debian. (That one's now gone making space for Ack's real name.) That name is not used by Ack itself (except in the FAQ) and hence shouldn't appear anywhere outside Debian and derivatives.

I've actually found that running \ack (or perl /usr/local/bin/ack) worked as normal.

So actually the problem was with aliases in my ~/.bash_aliases:

alias {ack,ak}='ack-grep'

I must copied it from somewhere else.

Removing it solved the problem. Thanks for your help.
