You can enter it in your ~/.bash_profile for a specific user, or you can enter it into the /etc/bashrc file for it to affect everybody globally. Here's what the format looks ike...

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
export PATH

Good luck...

thankz for you reply
i was actually asking about include path where you have your *.h files
so does this thing also goes for include path?

C_INCLUDE_PATH, and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
