Managing the path in FC2

msie02 · 09-01-2004, 03:56 AM

I have just installed TeTeX 2.96.7 beta, and ended the installation with adding the path to the new installation. My problem is that an old TeTeX version is installed and is placed before the new installation in the $PATH. I guess the solution is to permanently add the path to the new installation at the beginning of the $PATH, but how do I do that? i use Gnome terminal 2.6.0

I have searched the following files, for the paths without succes:

~/.bashrc
~/.bash_profile
/etc/profile

Add the line:
PATH="/your/tetex/bin:$PATH"

In /etc/profile to make global to all accounts or ~/.bashrc for just your account.
