I think the cleanest way is to diddle the /etc/paths.d structure. I have PeterDaardsiMac:R pd$ ls /etc/paths.d 40-XQuartz R TeX clang8 gfortran PeterDaardsiMac:R pd$ cat /etc/paths.d/gfortran /usr/local/gfortran/bin PeterDaardsiMac:R pd$ cat /etc/paths /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin
and the latter would want to be /opt/gfortran/bin for 12.2 (I still have 8.2 for now). Two things to note: 1. The directories in paths.d/* are added to those in /etc/paths in alphabetical order, so careful with older versions in /usr/local/bin. 2. You (probably) need to logout and back in for the changes to take effect in your Terminal windows. Alternatively, you can twiddle the shell startup files (~/.profile /etc/profile /etc/bashrc ....) directly. The trouble I have with that, is that I never feel sure that I am doing it in the right place. - Peter D. > On 6 Jul 2023, at 19:58 , Spencer Graves <spencer.gra...@prodsyse.com> wrote: > > 1.
