This is true if you set the path in .bashrc > 2) One must update PATH var in .bashrc file NOT in .bash_profile. > By the way, does anybody know what is .bash_profile for? Echoing both files I only > get inside .bashrc. According to the docs (that i found somewhere) .bash_profile runs when you login, .bashrc runs whenever a terminal is opened. In my case, it works just as advertised, but someone here had determined it worked differently for them. So, if yours works like mine and like the docs say, you could set your path in .bash_profile (like i do) and it would work. But, it won't change for new xterms w/o logging out or runing bash, etc. eric
