Hi, I'm trying to install a tarball. It showed up that the gcc was missing. I installed it from the CD. Now a message: gcc was installed in /opt/experimental and I'm urged to put /opt/experimantal/bin in the path. Man path/PATH gave nothing. How do I put things in the path? Anybody knows? Thanks, Thomas
