I can't set env vars. I have tried from a terminal in Gnome, I have tried from the

have any ideas I really don't want to re-install. BTW I am using a fresh
install of RH 7.1.

I do not know what you tried to do.
The following will set an enviroment variable caller $DUMMY
DUMMY=joe
echo $DUMMY
joe
In a bash script it is a little more complicated. You need to export
the variable such as:
DUMMY=joe
export $DUMMY
- or -
export DUMMY=joe
assuming you are using a bash shell. For example, for csh shell the
definition would have a different syntax.
