Setting Java Path

gtkmike · 05-09-2005, 02:45 PM

Hello Forum,
I have just installed SUSE 9.2.
I have also installed JAVA sdk
Where do I edit the PATH variable in SUSE?
In Fedora I can us .bash_profile to edit the PATH variable, this does not exist in SUSE. Where/what file do I find the PATH variable in so I can add my JAVA install to it?

Thank you in advance,
Mike

Just create a ~/.bash-profile file and add the line

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/path

Make the .bash-profile executable with:

Code:

chmod a+rx ~/.bash-profile

But you probably don't need to add the path to the PATH variable; try typing in the full pathname of the file at the BASH prompt (or click on it through Gnome or KDE).
