Hi,

Could someone tell me where the file is where i can specify global paths is...
I have a program, its coming up with the error

'Unable to execute the operating system file "bin/uv".'

Chances are, I just need to add the path to this as is is /usr/ibm/uv ... then you can bin/uv

I been looking for it on google but cant find it...

Thanks.

Already read trough your init scripts, either in /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d ?

This seems a bit odd... you typed bin/uv in order execute /usr/ibm/uv ? Is this correct?

Anyway, global paths are stored in an environment variable called PATH

echo $PATH

You can add paths to it with the export command.

export PATH=${HOME}/bin/:${PATH}

... or what you want.

Hi,

Thanks for replies, found that $PATH thing that your are talking about Simon, added my directory to it, but there is still a problem...

"This seems a bit odd... you typed bin/uv in order execute /usr/ibm/uv ? Is this correct?"
Sorry, maybe I didnt explain right... the path to the executable from root is /usr/ibm/uv/bin, then type uv to start uniVerse.
Or cd /usr/ibm/uv and then type bin/uv to start...

Anyways, tried adding my path, didnt do anything new, probably something to do with uniVerse from here on so thanks for the info help.

OK...
cd /usr/ibm/uv/bin
./uv

... executes uv (note the dot-dash, you left that out.)

Then...
the path you add should be: /usr/ibm/uv/bin/

(make sure this string is in your PATH: echo $PATH)

So you can enter
uv
... anywhere to execute it.

A Neat Trick (TM) is to make a bin directory in your home, add it to your path. Anything not in your path you want to execute, add a link to it to your ~/bin directory with the same name.

mkdir ~/bin
export PATH=${HOME}/bin/:${PATH}
cd ~/bin
ln -s uv /usr/ibm/uv/bin/uv
cd ..
uv
