Yes. Here’s the whole story:

I wanted to use the lynx trace facility and had forgotten that sometime in the distant past I had installed lynx. So, I installed it via MacPorts. But, when I first ran it I got the Bad CPU error.

That seemed wrong since I had just installed it so I tried both locate lynx and which -a lynx. But both of those only found: /usr/local/bin/lynx.

This was even more confusing.

As suggested, I deleted the old version of lynx and now both which and locate find the MacPorts version.
