.bash_configure
Hi all
Ive just reinstalled Rh 7.2 without any gui's. I am now attempting to upgrade Qt to 3.03 from the command line however I need to edit the .configure_bash file before I am able to run ./configure. how would I beable to open and edit this file at the command prompt?? Also when I attempt to find .bash_configure in /Home It is not listed, I know the file was hidden before but I only managed to unhide it using Konqueror in KDE so how would you unhide a file so that you can open it and edit it at the cmd line???? |
just use an editor like pico or vi.
a file with a . at the start is a hidden file. that's all there is to it, forget any KDE rubbish. you can still edit them fine, it just won't appear in a standard directory loisting, try ls -a insteasd of a standard ls |
ls -al will list all files within a directory. and I think its .bashrc or .bash_profile you are looking to edit.
and using vi like this will open it up in an editor to edit: vi .bashrc man vi for use on it. or you can use a more simpler text editor like pico if its installed. pico .bashrc ah man.. acid beat me... ;) |
many thanks to you both and TrickyKid you are quite correct its .bash_profile I need to edit.
However I tried ls -al in the /Home directory and it didnt show these files up! Would there be a reason for this??? Ohh well I will soon have my copies of Slack and Gentoo to "Play" with also :D |
