Use "which" to find sclang on a linux box?

[hems]

I just realised the default installation might be /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin ( I'm running a Raspberry here ).

As i'm not totally familiar with the code i wrote the solution in an standalone example so hopefully you can integrate this the best way possible:

function which( callback ) {
    var spawn = require( 'child_process' ).spawn
    spawn( 'which', [ 'sclang' ] ).stdout.on( 'data', function( data ) {
        callback( data.toString() );
    });
}


which( function( path ){ console.log( path ) });

or we could just say that you should have sclang and scsynth on your path.

with the homebrew OS X version about to be available, then even mac will have them on their path.

and then there is no need for supercolliderjs to configure it at all.

yeah makes total sense.. then perhaps close this?

Now I'm thinking that maybe the default for linux should be just 'sclang' — it should assume that you have it installed.

indeed should assume you have it installed and/or maybe make an argument to specify the binary in case you want to run a different one.
