ok I am stumped as to where the $PATH is set. I know in OSX I just added a ~/.profile and every time I opened the terminal that would be read and I could export environmental variables there. however I tried that here, and the file didn't seem to do anything. I open a new terminal and the $PATH is still the same as before.

It should be set in one or more of the files in /etc/env.d.

The reason I am trying this is because I just installed limewire, and the java in /opt/ibm-jre-bin-1.4.2 is not in my path. So when I open limewire it can't find the "java" command, which, again, is in /opt/ibm-jre-bin-1.4.2/bin.

The standard paths are set in /etc/env.d/00basic but the java ebuild
should have added a separate file for java settings,
usually /etc/env.d/20java. Mine contains

# Autogenerated by java-config
# Command: --set-system-vm=ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2
JDK_HOME=/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2
JAVAC=/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/bin/javac
PATH="/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/bin:/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin"
ROOTPATH="/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/bin:/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin"
LDPATH="/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin/:/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin/classic"
# VERSION="IBM JDK 1.4.2"
JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2

As you can see from the comment, maybe you should run java-config to set
up java correctly.


I think I have a problem with python or something. I ran java-config, and that did nothing. I used some options the next time I ran it and I got some python errors. I even tried putting your thing above into /etc/env.d/20java and that did nothing. So I am still working on it
