The directory you are in irrelevant, unless you have the insecure . in your
PATH. You can eitehr print the full name
/usr/local/bin/cvs
or put
/usr/local/bin
into your PATH (look in .bashrc and add
/usr/local/bin to the end of the PATH statement.
Do not end in the PATH with : and do not have any double colons in your
PATH
