[gentoo-user] setting path for qpkg
Hello, qpkg is not accessible, due to the path, unless I use: /usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin/qpkg Where is the best (bash shell) place to set this path once, so I do not have to type out the fully qualified pathname of the executable? I'd like it to survive the machinations of emerge, env-update et. al... /root/.bashrc ? I also would have thought that installing it from an emerge would set the path automatically?

I'd like it to survive the machinations of emerge, env-update et. al... I just copy it to /usr/local/bin. Since /usr/local/bin/qpkg is not owned by gentoolkit, it won't be touched by portage. An update to gentoolkit will reinstall qpkg in the original location, but it will be the same version as qpkg is deprecated. -- Neil Bothwick C Error #011: First C Program, huh? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It is deprecated, which is why it is no longer in the path. My recomendation is to create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin (which is in the default path) ln -s /usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin/qpkg /usr/local/bin/qpkg Answering your question about paths, the place to put it would be /root/.bashrc export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin Regards, Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That will teach me to only believe the man page, it makes no mention of this, only that it lists the contents of a package :( -- Neil Bothwick IRQs?
