Yes that's a typo > > I cannnot access the simplest of commands, e.g. ls, env, su, su -l, > > startx etc. Command not found.

I've corrected the prob. it's now: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/opt/jdk/bin:/opt/qt/bin:/opt/qt/include/QtCore I had the following in ~.bashrc '/opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread' which was overriding the other PATHS - but why? I know it should have been in ~.bash_profile or /etc/profile. thanks Bruce MAC -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
