checking for which... /usr/bin/which

stdout (which I would expect and which is what 'which' does on linux too)

So the problem here is that for something not found, which reports:

  > which autoconf
no autoconf in /java/east/jdk/7/latest/solaris-i586//bin /usr/local/bin 
/java/devtools/i386/SUNWspro/SS12u1/bin 
/java/devtools/i386/teamware/7.7/bin /java/jdk/bin/ 
/java/devtools/share/bin /java/devtools/i386/bin . /usr/X11/bin/ 
/usr/ccs/bin /opt/sfw/bin /home/daholme/bin /usr/dt/bin /usr/openwin/bin 
/usr/ccs/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/ucb /usr/local/bin 
/usr/dist/local/exe /usr/sfw/bin /usr/dist/exe /usr/lib/lp/postscript . 
/net/backpack.us.oracle.com/archives/jprt/east/dist/bin/

and that also goes to stdout.
