Setting my $PATH...syntax is wrong?...please advise...


below is the error message:

linux:/home/linux_lover/Prgs_to_install/toycars-0.3.2 # ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

I search for my path both as root and as user:
root:
linux_lover@linux:~> su
Password:
linux:/home/linux_lover # echo $PATH
/home/linux_lover/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin
linux:/home/linux_lover #

user:
linux:/home/linux_lover # exit
exit
linux_lover@linux:~> echo $PATH
/home/linux_lover/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin

They look the same to me...is there a difference between $path and $PATH ?
here is the syntax I'm trying to use:
set $PATH = /usr/lib/ (for gcc - found, version 4.0.2)
set $path = /usr/lib/

I've searched the forums here and have googled until I'm ready to give up...
the end result is the same /usr/lib/ is not added to path....thoughts, thanks

Absolutley, linux is case sensitive, so PATH, path, PaTh and pATH are all different.

if your looking to set your path try this:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib

From your output, your problem does not have anything to do with paths. All you need to do is install gcc. If it were installed, gcc would be in /usr/bin and not in /usr/lib.

reddazz - thats where I found...

my gcc version 4.0.2 (found in /usr/lib directory). Would this syntax accomplish what I need?
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/...?
thoughts...thanks.
