add to path
 

I've been googling how to do this. I knew how to do this once long ago on redhat.
In UBUNTU 7.04 how can I add a path like say /home/jethro/c to my path so that I can run my C++ programs from there?

.bash_profile isn't on this distro I guess....

You can do it in your .bashrc instead, with "export PATH=$PATH:/home/jethro/c". FWIW, it's ok to create the files if they don't exist.

Nice, that did the trick.
I'll add that to my newbie notes.

Thanks NYLEX
