So I installed the latest available of Hugo Extended provided by MacPorts, but when trying to use a sass configuration I am told “you need the extended version to build SCSS/SASS”,

Running `hugo version` I get:

```auto
hugo v0.82.1+extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

```

In my partial for my template I have:

```auto
{{ $sass := resources.Get "sass/main2.scss" }}
{{ $style := $sass | resources.ToCSS }}
<link href="{{ $style }}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

```

and then `main2.scss` is located at `assets/sass/main2.scss`.

The app output, during `hugo server`:

```auto
ERROR 2021/05/07 01:44:26 Rebuild failed:

```

Any ideas?

Investigated some more: even though `hugo version` was displaying the expected version, `hugo server` was not. Running `rehash` solved the issue.

Note, I did have the the non-extended version previously, so it looks like some paths needed a slight refresh.
