Hi,
Don't know which shell you use, but:
If you use bash then you can add a line in you .bashrc file like
PATH=$PATH:/opt/rvplayer5.0
for example, to add that path,
and a line
export PATH
to export that variable.
man bash will tell you the details.
If you don't have the .bashrc file yet, you will also need
to create the .bash_profile file that would have the line
source ~/.bashrc
in it.
If you were to use csh it would be something like:
setenv PATH /rvplayer5.0:$PATH
in your .cshrc or .tcshrc
man csh will tell you more.
You can also type those commands at your prompt , and
you can verify environment variables doing:
$ echo $VARIABLE
Last but not least ,don't forget take a look at /etc/profile file
regards,
Alvaro.
