to find the path, try ...

Code:

Then add it to the path.

From the above link...

Quote:

Adding to a Single User's Path

To add a directory to the path of a single user, place the lines in that user's .bash_profile file. Typically, .bash_profile already contains changes to the $PATH variable and also contains an export statement, so you can simply add the desired directory to the end or beginning of the existing statement that changes the $PATH variable. However, if .bash_profile doesn't contain the path changing code, simply add the following two lines to the end of the .bash_profile file:

PATH=$PATH:/data/myscripts
export PATH

Hi you can update your database by typing...

Code:

updatedb

that's just for the locate database of files on your system, might take a minute or more.

after that, open the .bash_profile text file.

Scroll down till you get to the PATH= entry.

Notice how the paths are appended, and follow that rule.

Add your path to the executable Or Libs, to the end of the line (PATH=)

reboot, and test your app.

see how you go, Glenn
