environment variable
 

Hi all,

I am trying to run a system that is supposed to be working. All I needed to do is to set some environment variables and redefine some paths to my system. I am getting a segmentation fault and I am kind of confused as where the problem can be as is the system is quite big.
I am thinking that I might have set the environment variables wrong. It is the first time I did it.

In the README it says to set a certain environment variable to for my version of C and system support.
That is what I did:
export env_var=/usr/bin/gcc

Am I supposed to do something different or am I right



Also I am supposed to have rcp.lockd running. How am I supposed to check if it running. when I use startsrc -s rpc.lockd. I get command not found. I am using bash as a shell.



Thanks of ryour help.

no program has the rigth to segfault over something as trivial as an invalid path really... that' should be fine though. if you run "echo $env_var" and get that value back, then anything you run within that shell be get it too.

I didn't get anything when I run echo $env_var. I did it from my home directory right? what am I supposed to get.
I didn't really understand your statement.

Also, they were using csh as a shell and I changed it to bash. Do you think something in the make might be different using different shells and might ive me problems. But still, I shouldn't get a segfault.

from the rpc.lockd man page:

Yeah, I already read that in the man page. I just want to know how to check whether it is running. when I use lssrc rpc.lockd to check if it is runniing I get lssrc command unknown. If I do startsrc that is supposed to start it, I get command unknown. I need to figure out a way to know whether it is running (automatically ) or not. Thanks for your help.

Can you please help me more when setting variables. Am I doing it right. Am I just supposed to give the path to where gcc is located. Is that what is meant by setting it to the gcc version.
