Does anyone know which file should > be edited to change the path string? root's ~/.profile is the only one you need to touch (for anyone not using Debian: root has a ~/.profile and a ~/.bashrc by default). The change won't take effect automatically. Try logging root out, then back in. To wander off track a bit... are you sure you want to be doing this with root? (As in, if you add yourself to the 'staff' group, you can work under /usr/local as yourself - which might be all you need. (That's all one needs to do to compile GNOME2 on woody, for example. Qt/KDE stuff shouldn't be any different. But I suppose it might depend on what you're doing and why, so I'll shut up now.)
