While I was trying to get X11.app to recognize the paths to my /sw directories, I used the linux command that I was used to:
export PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin
This worked out great and allowed term access to those binaries, but for that session only. Everytime I quit X11.app and restarted, the exported path was forgotten.
I tried this as user, sudo, su and su -, all with the same results. Not that this is something I'll need often but am I doomed to manually enter changes like this, and will I encounter other subtle diffs between Darwin/Unix from what I'm used to in linux?
thx
It's not Darwin--it's Apple's X11. XFree86 doesn't do this. Check out
