-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Am a newbie to the requirement of environment settings. I need to set CLASSPATH/PATH variables permanently, to enable me to do some development. I have a need to enable 'Eclipse' with Amzi prolog plug-in run. The stumbling blocks are ability to set a default environment variable, i.e. AMZI_DIR, and then all the additions to PATH. Could somebody point me in the right direction, I have tried many ways which fail frequently. Point me to some definitive guide for SuSE 8.2 & 9.0 please. So that I can solve this dilema once and for all. TIA, Paul - -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The box says: Win98, WinNT or BETTER.

There are several places to set env variables.... like your .bashrc I use /etc/profile.local -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

As Bruce mentioned, there are several places. You probably want those variables set before X windows runs. The ~/.xinitrc is a good place to set environment variables so they are inherited by applications you run directly from KDE (or GNOME) such as Eclipse without first spawning a shell, or you could set them in /etc/profile if you want them set for everyone who logs into your system (which is probably only you). -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
