I'm tempted to say do your google homework, but by coincidence I was fiddling with paths last week and trying to find a good review, couldn't find one!
PATH is an environment variable used by the shell to know where to look for commands you type in, also used by application to look for config files or data files. It is usually set in .bash_profile in the user's home directory. as in PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin export PATH This means "make my PATH variable = what it is now plus the value of the HOME environment variable/bin stuck on the end. The export line I think makes it permanent, rather than just being in effect while the batch file is running. So if you want to add /usr/local/kde/bin to your path, you could edit your .bash_profile to include PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/kde/bin export PATH Actually, you should probably check to see if it's already there, with echo $PATH Didactic Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Brandon Jasper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, November 22, 2002 11:53 am Subject: [luau] Path question > I'm playing around with liquid and after I did a make install it > asks me to > add /usr/local/kde/bin to my path.
