Completion in zsh

Completion in zsh

[sac]

Hi,

When I install a new utility, and I press [tab] it
does not complete the command unless I source .zshrc. 
Why is this?
Is there any way I can get the command completion
without sourcing the .zshrc file.

Regards,
sac.

`rehash' is your friend.

Because the $path is not automatically rehashed.

Of course:
 - enter 'hash -r'
