Try:

Code:

whereis gmt

you can use the command locate gmt. Before executing you may need another command (as root): updatedb

You can search it using,

Code:

~$ find / -name "gmt" -print

Then you can set the path into your path variable, as:-

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/gmt

Or add this line in your .bashrc to make it permanant.

Look at this;

You could setup a .bashrc & .bash_profile for your user.
sample .bash_profile;

Code:

  
 ~$ cat .bash_profile
---------cut---------
 # .bash_profile
 #08-30-06 12:21
 #
 # Source .bashrc
 if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
         . ~/.bashrc
 fi
  ----------cut-------

Code:

 sample .bashrc;
 :~$ cat .bashrc
  ----------cut-------
 #.bashrc
 #08-30-06 12:20  
 

 # Add bin to path
  
 export PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$HOME/bin"
  
 #export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin"
  
 # Dynamic resizing
 shopt -s checkwinsize
  
 # Custom prompt
 #PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
  
 #08-29-06 11:40
  
 if [ `id -un` = root ]; then
    PS1='\[\033[1;31m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] '
  else
    PS1='\[\033[1;32m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] '
 fi
 
#
 # Add color
 eval `dircolors -b`
  
 # User defined aliases
 alias cls='clear'
 alias clls='clear; ls'
 alias ll='ls -l'
 alias lsa='ls -A'
 alias lsg='ls | grep'
 alias lsp='ls -1 /var/log/packages/ > package-list'
 alias na='nano'
 alias web='links -g -download-dir ~/ www.google.com'

 #To clean up and cover your tracks once you log off
 #Depending on your version of BASH, you might have to use
 # the other form of this command
    trap "rm -f ~$LOGNAME/.bash_history" 0
 
#The older KSH-style form
 #   trap 0 rm -f ~$LOGNAME/.bash_history

The .bashrc is very useful!

You can modify the above '.bashrc' to suit your user needs.
HTH!
