Allan,

You don't need to have darcs in the system default path; you only need
to have it in your personal default path.

Assuming you're using bash, the following should do the trick:

  $ mkdir ~/bin/
  $ mv darcs ~/bin/
  $ echo 'PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

                                        Juliusz
Oh yes this is already in my ~/.bashrc, otherwise I wouldn't be able to run darcs when normally logged in (ie. when I am actually at work). The problem is that a non-interactive shell doesn't run ~/.bashrc (at least not on the setup here).
So basically I:
a) Couldn't seem to change the default path for a non-interactive remote login
b) couldn't install darcs in what is the default path ...

It's quite possible that there is some way to do "a", however I did ask support and they claimed there to be no way.

thanks for the advice anyway.
regards
allan
