> No, there is no /.bash_profile file. ... not /.bash_profile, but ~/.bash_profile or, more explicitly, $HOME/.bash_profile!
If you don't have this file, create it in your home directory
and enter your PATH definition there:
PATH=$PATH:whereever_the_SANE_binaries_hide
export PATH
Be sure to log out and in to make the definition active.
Sincerely yours,
