Compiled 7.2 from source, but smartctl fails?  Followed the documented 
steps...

#  wget 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools/files/smartmontools/7.2/smartmontools-7.2.tar.gz/download 
-O smartmontools-7.2.tar.gz

# tar -zxvf smartmontools-7.2.tar.gz
# cd smartmontools-7.2
# ./configure
# make
# make install

# cd /usr/local/sbin/
# ./update-smart-drivedb

No issues thus far.  However,  when I try to run smartctl...

# smartctl
-bash: /usr/sbin/smartctl: No such file or directory

Per the documentation and actual location is /usr/local/sbin/smartctl.  
So what the heck?
