Fail to invoke emacs from terminal












0















I installed emacs25.2.2

but, I cannot invoke it directly



me@me:~$ emacs
bash: /usr/local/bin/emacs: No such file or directory


emacs is within the $PATH



me@me:~$ emacs
bash: /usr/local/bin/emacs: No such file or directory
me@me:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin


I installed emacs 26.1 and uninstalled it from the source using 'make uninstall' since it was painful to tackle errors of gnutls



How could I invoke the current version of emacs directly?
