> Jerry. you can do: export /home/luc/whateverdirectoryyouputitin/:$PATH - but in reality, munging junk like that into a "stable" system ain't always good. Jerry's got the right idea by making sure you install programs into the proper binary directories - as I stated before... (BTW, it's not always good to have a link in /usr/bin if you've already got the binary in /usr/local/bin - unless the link in /usr/bin is pointing to a program NOT in /usr/local/bin - rather like /usr/local/myprogram/bin - like that...) -- Tue Dec 17 21:30:00 EST 2002 9:30pm up 1 day, 31 min, 4 users, load average: 1.51, 0.94, 0.78 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | k�hn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen k�hn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Gr�tens*Liebe Gr��e*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live. -- Socrates
