Joe,
the variable name is declared with Capital letters, so type::
#> echo $PATH
I am working on setting up my path again. Wondering what happened to
it.
if the above doesn't work, check your /etc/bashrc ..
did you try what bascule mentions:
try the full path to urpmi
#> /usr/sbin/urpmi glabels
I did, and like magic, urpmi worked.
The question I have, is why is /usr/sbin no longer in my $PATH, and/or
how should I edit my bashrc so that it is.
Here is what i get from echo $PATH:
echo $PATH
/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/home/fcrozat/GNUstep/Tools:/usr/GNUstep/Local/Tools:/usr/GNUstep/System/Tools:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/fcrozat/bin
The directoryies /sbin, /usr/sbin and /usr/local/sbin are not normaly in
a user's path. They are in root's path when you log in as root, or when
you "su -" to root. Normaly, when you do "su" instead of "su -", you
keep the same path. But in Mandrake 10.1, when ever root opens a shell,
the path is set to fixed path by /root/.bashrc. So you may want to check
the .bashrc file in /root to be sure it is correct.
