No. I figured it out.

I always install nginx in my config as /usr/local/sbin/nginx.

Since I didn't specify in the test config, It was installed as 
/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx. I didn't realize this. I usually configure 
--sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin/nginx

When I saw

# whereis nginx
nginx: /etc/nginx /usr/local/sbin/nginx /usr/local/sbin/nginx.old 
/usr/local/nginx

it didn't show the binary in /usr/local/nginx/sbin/

So it appeared to me as if the binary had not been installed, because 
when I ran

[root at mercury nginx-0.6.36]# nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/0.7.54

I understand why that is. I was evidently having a series of blond 
moments today.

Sorry.


I can confirm that when I configured correctly

# ./configure --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

and run new binary

/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

that it works as expected.
