[Newbie] PATH...?
Hi, SuSErs.. I'm running a SuSE 8.0. I have a doubt, which is, when I typed "echo $PATH" in "Shell-Konsole", I could see a bunch of stored path.....What can I do to add another PATH... where and how....? Thanks for your help... _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
In your /etc/profile.local add lines that look something like: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/local/sbin This applies to all users. If this file does not exist, create it. If you want to do it to yourself only, then add to /home/billgates/.bashrc Use any editor you like. Kate would do it. XEmacs is my favorite. For instructions on how to use an editor, please call 1-800-BILL-GATES-ROCKZ Select 1) Then 2) and then 3) on your touch tone dial. Then wait on the phone for 45 minutes. He will get back with you as soon as possible. Salman On Tuesday 17 September 2002 18:03, Chun Ki Shin wrote:

when you're on your /home/Chun (or what ever homedirectory name is...) pico .bashrc Edit the line which starts with PATH... add the path you need.. if you need /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/bin you add it by putting it in the end of the line and separate the new with : so you write :/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/bin to the end of that line.. Then sava by pressing ctrl+x any answer y when promting save changes... and press enter when it prompts for filename.. Hope this helps PETE Chun Ki Shin wrote:
