OK, my bad.  One standard thing I do on my machines is add the following line 
near the top of /etc/profile:
PATH=~/bin:$PATH

And that puts everything I want in my path.  This may also be
accomplished by putting this line in ~/.profile, depending on your
shell.

Setting this in .bashrc does not work because login shells don't read rc
files, they read profile files.  See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_shell#Configuration_files_for_shells

I suggest the user try setting PATH in a profile file instead of an rc
file.
