I am trying to get gcc command to work out of the box in Solaris10. But the shell gives the message:

$ gcc prg1.cpp -o prg1.exe
bash: gcc: command not found

So, I have put in the file:

#.!/export/home/threader/local.profile
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin/:/usr/sfw/bin/; export PATH

then, 'reboot' to see how it goes. When then I tried again to run gcc, the same happens:

$ gcc prg1.cpp -o prg1.exe
bash: gcc: command not found

It only works if every time after restarting the computer I run on terminal:
$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin/:/usr/sfw/bin/; export PATH

Any hints or suggestion on how to make it automatic?

Thanks Folks!

You can put those commands in your ~/.profile (you can create it if it doesn't exist) so it's available by you, or in /etc/profile to make it available for all users.
Better split it in 2 lines:

thanks a LOT! it worked.........

If you want the setting to be done system wide, you can edit the /etc/default/login file and modify the "PATH=" line.
